      \\section{%s}   for the first headline level
and
     \\paragraph{%s} for second levels

This would be useful to me.   However, the ordinary article structure with
subsection, subsubsection, etc., is good enough for much of what I do.   I
can imagine copying the article class file into my org directory, and
renaming it to article2.cls, and adding it to org-export-latex-classes, with
the section -> paragraph structure.

Is there an easier or canonical way to do this?

Thank you for your interest and help.
