Okay. That's probably not a planner-sort-tasks thing, but rather
something to add to planner-mark-task-hook.

(defun cpc/planner-seek-next-open-task (old-status new-status)
 "Find the next open task."
 (when (string-match status "XC")
   (let ((continue t))
     (while continue
       (if (re-search-forward planner-task-regexp nil t)
           (let ((status (planner-task-status (planner-current-task-info))))
             (unless (string-match status "XC")
               (goto-char (planner-line-beginning-position))
               (setq continue nil)))
         (setq continue nil))))))
(add-hook 'planner-mark-task-hook 'cpc/planner-seek-next-open-task t)

This positions the point at the beginning of the next open task. You
can do other things with it, of course... =)
