I love the 'Complete subtasks in order' feature, viewing one active task per project limits time wasted deciding what to do next and makes large projects manageable.
I'd like to see this going just one step further and have a 'Complete Subtasks at Random' feature implemented. This would follow the same hierarchy rules as the order feature but in cases where a parent task has multiple subtasks on the same level it would display one at a time at random instead of the user defined order.
MLO is very powerful at assigning all the variables needed to decide what to do next, but sometimes thinking can get in the way of just getting something done and randomization can be a great motivational tool (See Fartlek running).
Additionally it would be a fantastic tool for turning lists into tasks, maybe you have a 'films to watch' list. You could set a recurring task 'Watch Film' and have your randomized film choice displayed as the subtask in your active view. Whilst your 'watch list' can be viewed in the outline.
