Hi All,

I'm facing a small annoyance. I like to use priorities on my tasks, for
sorting them in agenda view. So I have something like this:

* TODO [#A] Big task 1
** WORKING subtask
** TODO subtask
...
* TODO [#A] Big Task 2
...

so on.

Agenda mode, however, shows this as follows:

TODO [#A] Big Task 1
TODO [#A] Big Task 2
... other todo big tasks according to priority
... and then somewhere below
WORKING subtask
TODO subtask
... so on

I would like it very much if the subtasks would appear below the big task
they are related to, or atleast if the priority of the big task is auto
propagated to them so that they appear in the list of all the #A tasks, if
not directly under the big task. This would help me very much in keeping
related tasks together.

If there is any _other_ trick or better way to achieve this that I'm
missing, I'd be glad to get pointers.

Thanks!
Vedang

I forgot to ask the question. Is there any way to do this?

Two ideas:

1. Configure the variable org-agenda-sorting-strategy and remove
    priority sorting

or

2. Use tags to mark priorities
