I might not be reading the original post (and comments) right, but the way I’m understanding this, a custom field could help!

I created a custom formula field that I just named “Days” and use that in my rule to sort my tasks. So when a task is due today, the “Days” custom field would be 0, and based on my rule, the task should appear under my “Due Today” section.

**Custom Field Formula:** [[$DIVIDE\_FUNCTION]]([[$SUBTRACT\_FUNCTION]]([[$DUE\_DATE]], [[$TODAY]]), 1440) + 0  
^_Formula credits to @Richard_Sather and his [custom field templates](https://forum.asana.com/t/free-custom-field-templates/501371)!_

Screenshots of task organization and the rule:
