Hi Jaap,

After exploring a bit, I found a way to display tasks with a future start
date above the undated tasks. I just set a general task with due date and
nest the main task with the future start date. Something like this:

[ ] Upcoming tasks <2017-08
    [ ] A future task >2017-07-10

Start dates are still fresh on my workflow, so I'll see how it goes.

Thanks!
Bruno
