I agree, with search as powerful as it is these days, sorting by content is a masturbatory gesture. However, I think that sorting by function may serve some purpose, since the shortcuts I built in remove all boundaries to actually using the system as intended. I don't keep any external To Do lists, and in fact have another rule running to copy my sent messages into my inbox for similar filing in the same system. I've read the pros and cons of keeping a separate to-do list, but right now this meets what I predict to be my needs, although I am very open to further optimization.
