Mmhh, since you cannot apply tags and proprities to checklist items AFAIK, it seems you already gave the canonical procedure yourself: put the checklists in subtrees with tags (=categories) and further subsubtrees with different priorities (or vice versa). Why would you eliminate the subtrees later, when they are still needed? -- cheers, Thorsten
