How Do You Handle Making Tasks Sequentially Ordered?

(closed account) says:
Obviously, right now RTM auto-sorts your tasks -- alphabetically, by priority, or due date.

However, with certain projects, the tasks must happen in a certain order. First you buy the grill, then the charcoal fluid and meat, then you call your friends and schedule it, then the day of, you unpack the new grill, etc., etc.

How do you handle making sure your project tasks are sequential?

The obvious answer is to prefix it with numbers: 01, 02, 03, etc.

However, if you use Smart Lists to, say, show you all your home or work tasks, then adding numbers to projects results in a very messy-looking smart task list.

So I am wondering ... do people have any ideas?

I'm still working this out also but what I'm trying now is shown below:

ProjectName T01 Task 1 Description
ProjectName T02 Task 2 Description
etc.

where T01 and T02 are task to be completed as part of ProjectName.
