The difference is that chutzpah should indicate the general importance of a rule within that rule's class, whereas some classes of rules should always be more important.  Rules controlling the voting process, for example, should be at a higher layer than grid rules, but some voting rules are more important than other voting rules, and some grid rules are more important than other grid rules.

Plus, it shouldn't be necessary to do extreme layers.  The layers concept should be that if a rule is more important than all rules in its layer, it should be bumped up a layer.  If it's not as important as the layer immediately above, a new layer should be created.

Sorting options are a separate issue.  I think different sorting options would be a really good idea, but it would have to be coded, and it would mean either more static rule lists (not necessarily a bad thing, and easy to produce once coded for), or a dynamic query capability which would slow down both viewing and Joel's machine.
