If a link could show the state of a linked TODO, that would make for a good visualization. I could then follow the link and just adjust my order to account for dependencies. It sounds like a more "permanent" agenda view that you could edit to get the right order. Ie: * Things to do in reverse order ** TODO One ** TODO Two ** TODO Three * Implementation Order TODO Three TODO Two TODO One On Mon, Oct 08, 2007 at 08:43:53AM -0500, Russell Adams wrote: > Lets make that more generic.
