Hope I didn't miss any that already exist. 1) priority faces are settable in the agenda. perhaps they could be so in the outline also. 2) sorting strategy is settable in the agenda. perhaps it could be settable in the outline also. they could share code. also: * priorities are sortable. perhaps tags can be sortable via a default (built-in) sorting strategy also. to set the weights, the user configures as follows. nil means that tag sorting does nothing. ;;urgent gets sorted highest (or lowest, depending on ;;perspective). this is very useful for people who ;;have some ordered tags. (setq org-tag-sort-weights '(("urgent" . 1000) ("now" . 100) ;;below no tag ("someday" . -100)) ;;nutrition is more important than entertainment ("nutrition" . 100) ("entertainment" . -100)) * todo states are sortable. perhaps they can be sortable in such a way that the user can put blank entries (no todo state) as desired (e.g. between TODO and DONE). perhaps a variable to set the weights. -- Myalgic encephalomyelitis denialists are causing massive suffering and 25-years-early death by grossly corrupting science. http://www.meactionuk.org.uk/What_Is_ME_What_Is_CFS.htm
