Filter option for Task

Just want to add some further linkage/context here!

The Household Tasks permission is an existing feature that may be useful in some of the mentioned scenarios.

Also this need for filtering/sorting tasks has come up before:

Type: Feature Tasks

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** CHVs often h…ave many tasks to do and currently, the only way they can prioritize them is by due date sorting or by reading all of the tasks doing their own prioritization. **Describe the solution you'd like** We already flag some tasks as high priority, and with predictive algorithms may be able to identify additional high priority tasks (e.g., important tasks unlikely to completed or tasks where we expect the patient to show danger signs). Similar to #5886, we can help CHWs plan and prioritize their activities by one (or more) of the following: - providing the ability to order tasks by priority - providing the ability to order tasks by due date-weighted priority - providing the ability to filter tasks by high priority **Describe alternatives you've considered** Alternatives include the current mechanisms to flag a task as high priority and change its presentation to the user, including its icon and text. However, for a CHW with many tasks, this may not surface high priority tasks as easily as sorting or filtering would. Another alternative is for urgent tasks (e.g., those where we expect danger signs) to use SMS or a dialog box upon opening the app to remind the CHW of the importance of the task. However, this may be overwhelming for a CHW if too many tasks are high priority. **Additional context** This is relevant as we consider expansion and scale-up of our predictive algorithms initiatives through recently launched data science partnerships. These partnerships would be looking to close out in mid-2020, with implementation possibly in late 2020.
