I guess the question is that the numbers don't need to be arbitrary. If I
am looking at the details of a task x, and I see its order number is n, I
might be interested in looking at what happened right before and after n,
and I might find useful to narrow down the content of the massive tasks
table to n-5 to n+5, for example, so that I can focus on the interesting
subset without being bothered by the noise of the other tasks.

Having said that, I am very much open to change. If people do agree that
filtering tasks by their execution order is not useful, let's get rid of
that filter.
