I'd add my support to this feature request.

It is a very natural thing to want to put today's tasks in arbitrary order. The order might depend on one's feelings, resource availability etc. -- things that are difficult to define according to a sortable field. I might want to do an easy, low priority task when I am tired, even if it is due after a more difficult higher priority task just to get it out of the way. I would prefer to order the tasks in the morning, rather than constantly scanning the list through the day.

One way to do this would be to have a "sequence number" field that records the order as items are dragged and dropped. This field would represent the overall order in which the tasks are planned to be done. Its presence would not upset the other sorting capabilities in the system. Dragging and dropping could only be enabled when the list is sorted by sequence number. If items are not shown because of filtering, just have a rule that a dragged task is inserted immediately before or immediately after the task being displayed after or before the drop position
