Yes, what you are thinking is the way to go. Just override that java class and implement your own comparator.
Other option is to filter tasks in ftl before rendering (if you are good at javascript )

I have a suggestion…
The priority is a non mandatory field.
Default one is medium.

If you are planning to sort the tasks by priority, then make it as an mandatory field.
So that, people gives the priority responsibly…

When all the tasks are listed in medium priority, there is no meaning in sort ( This happens when people do not give preference to priority)

I edited the java file but i am having trouble figuring out how to deploy it into a war file (from eclipse) in order to put it into my alfresco server to try it out. Any ideas?

You can simply create a jar file by using export as jar functionality of eclipse and place that jar under <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib
Also you need to replace entry of orinal class in context file with your new class.
