If you want it to ignore categories and sort by priority only, you need to configure `org-agenda-sorting-strategy' to something like this (this is the default setting, but with the part for the todo list modified): (setq org-agenda-sorting-strategy '((agenda time-up category-keep priority-down) (todo priority-down) (tags category-keep priority-down)) >> - can I add priority 'd' to the list Yes: (setq org-lowest-priority ?D) Try `M-x org-customize RET' to find out more about the many options. >> - when you use the multiple file approach, do you use a >> lot of tags, or is it more usefull for a single file >> approach This is a matter of taste, and different people use different approaches. See the org-mode homepage for links to some of the discussions that happened here on this list. >> - can somebody explain the 43 folder approach Google is your friend http://wiki.tcl.tk/13200 >> and how it >> is used with org-mode Org-mode has no direct support for a 43 folders setup - anyway, 43folders is, I thknk, mostly useful as structure in real paper, not on a computer. Hope this helps. - Carsten
