Hi, I'm using the ORDERED property in some/most of my projects and generally hide BLOCKED items everywhere except in a special list of blocked items which I review with some regularity. Overall, this works fine, org nicely filters out what is possible to work on and hides others. I'd like to make it a bit smarter by having scheduled and deadlined items be 'unhidden' even though they would be invisible according to their order. A typical structure to which the above would apply is something like this: * PROJ Some project with sequential tasks :PROPERTIES: :ORDERED: t :END: ** TODO First ** TODO Second, but scheduled SCHEDULED: <2010-03-30 Tue> ** TODO Third, but deadlined DEADLINE: <2010-03-29 Mon> ** TODO Last In my lists the 'Second, but scheduled' and 'Third, but deadlined' do not appear, because they are blocked by 'First'. For the above situations, I'd like to make an exception in the hiding, but do not know where to start. I could imagine a customization variable which allows a list of exceptions to the 'hide' rule. Anyone has any tips/pointers on the above?
