Outlook Tasks Question: sorting after due date and then category?

In Outlook Tasks is it possible to first sort by due date and then after category? I want to keep all the urgent tasks badged, so I sort by due date and want to keep the view of my tasks badged so that I see all categories.
 
In Outlook-Tasks, you can't sort by category but you can group by category. My workaround for this is;
1. In the View>Layout> Right Pane selector, select To-Do Bar. Config this list to group by category. This becomes your @ list. Configure this view's filter to only display Priority = low tasks. (After all, you are only going to be concerned about this list if your are in the @context.)

2. Your main-Task-view filter is configured to NOT display Priority=Low tasks. Therefore, just the Priority=High and Priority=medium display. Config the display to group high and medium priority separately.

If you want my full Outlook config, send me a direct - message and I'll reply with it.
