I didn't spend a lot of time on this so I wouldn't give up just yet. The thing I couldn't get to work was automatically starting column view in my block agenda. I can still manually do that with C-c C-x C-c > I tried your code - it does what it promises.. however, you're right, > it's not > yet what I need: > I'd need Priority A and B in one view (table), > then sorted > * Prio A first > * Prio B second > lines sorted by date descending (newest first) .. would that be possible?

This is a pity. In column view you can see the data in any agenda view. Dates are normally only displayed in the "agenda" view which includes the time grid. This would only show past due and past scheduled items and deadlines within deadline warning period. > So theoretically, I'd have to use this agenda command and then tweak the sorting > function to arrange items by Prio first and then by date? > (That's what I tried already, based on your setup, but I was not able to make it > work yet..) > Is column view in the agenda acceptable? I don't know of another way to display the deadline and schedule information you want. I can take another look at this over the weekend id you like. Regards, Bernt
