Past Tasks

What are the filters that determine which tasks are listed as Past Tasks? I've cleared all past due dates on my tasks, yet I still have a large number of tasks listed as Past Tasks.

When in the "My Day" Suggestions 'Past Tasks', if we future-date an overdue task, the task should be removed from the 'Past Tasks' section. Right now, it remains in the same position in the Past Tasks and does not get removed.

As an alternative minimum fix, It would be good to sort the Suggestions Past Tasks by reverse due date.

Cindy_Mikeworthas a workaround to assembling tasks for "My Day", I open the 'Planned" tasks from the To-do menu. ***In the "Earlier" section, i adjust due dates; the task then moves out of "Earlier"***.
What remains in 'Earlier", i right click to "Add to My Day". Note that I keep some overdue repeating tasks with the original overdue-date, otherwise To-do changes the next-scheduled task date to be out of the original schedule.

Turns out the above solution requires that all your tasks be assigned a due date to appear on the planned tasks. I try to mark all tasks as important so they appear on the Important list. But throughout the day, I can add a lot of new tasks. But if I don't address them before the day ends, they can be lost. I have no idea what the logic is on the Smart Lists. They used to *all* appear on the top of the Suggestions, making it simple to add them back in order.
