I have a custom agenda view that shows items with the tag "project".
It shows a TODO list like this:
* TODO Project A
** TODO Subtask for project A
** TODO Another task for A
* TODO Project B
** TODO B subtask
However, if I put a priority on "Subtask for project A", then the
subtask jumps out of its nested structure like this:
** TODO [#A] Subtask for project A
* TODO Project A
<etc>
This becomes confusing when I have 6-7 projects going on.
Is there an agenda sorting strategy that I can use to keep the TODOs
inside their respective parents?
Thanks,

Excellent question. Do you mean all ancestors?
===
More options you might consider (don't want to hijack thread):
Other options include dimming tasks that have at least one descendent
in the same agenda view.
Motivation is that sometimes I mark a task as important (or any other
tag), and mark its child as important. When I look at the agenda view
for important items without inheritance, I am less interested in the
parent. But when B is done, I am interested in A again. I don't want
to manipulate tags. I just want to have both there all the time in the
agenda, but one dimmed.
* deal with company A :important:
* call B at company A :important:
* call C
However, this is also not implemented.

Yes. That makes sense.
If I have this:
* Some project :project:
** TODO Task Foo
** [#A] TODO Task Bar
I would like an agenda view that would show items tagged with
:project: and its TODO descendants. I would like the descendants
to remain under the parent, otherwise they lose context, and get spread around
the agenda view.
My main goal is part of a weekly review, where I look at all my
projects, and make
sure they have some TODO item that's scheduled.
I'll look around for some solutions, and post anything that I come up with.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,

I think I found a suitable solution: Just set
org-agenda-sorting-strategy nil for my custom project agenda:
("pp" "Projects" tags-todo "project-DONE-CANCELLED"
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Projects (High Level)")
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy nil)))
At least this keeps the sub-tasks under the tasks, and provides a readable
agenda view, like this:
TODO Project A
.TODO Project A subtask
.TODO [#A] Another project A subtask
Will update the list w/any other fixes/tweaks to this solution.
