Hi all
I want to sort the agenda file so that the tasks marked with
priorities A, B and C are all at the top, with tasks marked with no
priority underneath.
I've tried reading the manual on this
(http://orgmode.org/manual/Sorting-of-agenda-items.html#Sorting-of-agenda-items),
but don't understand it. I'm guessing that I have to change the
variable org-agenda-sorting-strategy somehow, but I'm not sure what
to.
Thanks for helping a new user!
Richard

Hi Richard,
Welcome to the org-mode community!
What you describe should be the default behaviour. But items with no
priority default to B so you need to drop the default priority below the
items you normally set a priority for (ie D if A, B, and C are the only
priorities you use).
See org-default-priority, org-lowest-priority
,----[ example org file ]
| * TODO [#C] Priority C task
| * TODO [#B] Priority B task
| * TODO [#A] High priority task
| * TODO Some other task
|
| (setq org-default-priority ?D)
| (setq org-lowest-priority ?F)
|
`----
Result from M-x org-agenda < t
,----
| -UUU:**--F1 foo.org All L8 (Org)------------------------------------------------------------
| Global list of TODO items of type: ALL
| Available with `N r': (0)ALL (1)TODO (2)DONE
| foo: TODO [#A] High priority task
| foo: TODO [#B] Priority B task
| foo: TODO [#C] Priority C task
| foo: TODO Some other task
`----
HTH,
Bernt

Thank you very much. It's a great community and I continue to be very
impressed.

Ah, so I was barking up the wrong tree.

That worked perfectly. Thanks!
