In my task list, items are grouped under various headings. For example:
* Reading
** TODO Book 1
** TODO Book 2
* Programming
** TODO assignment 1
** TODO assignment 2
When an item is DONE, I want to archive it such that archive file
preserves tree structure. So when Book 1 above is DONE, I want C-c C-x
C-a to send this subtree to archive file under the heading Reading. I
followed the suggestion here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10143959/keeping-the-context-when-archiving-in-emacs-org-mode
My updated tasks file looks like this.
* Reading
:PROPERTIES:
:ARCHIVE: %s_archive::Reading
:END:
** TODO Book 1
** TODO Book 2
Adding this property does not change archive action. After marking Book
1 as DONE, then typing C-c C-x C-a sends this subtree to archive file as
a top level heading. As a result, my archive file has a long list of
top level headings.
How can I get the archiving done to preserve tree structure of tasks?
Any hope for already archived items to be reorganized?
Thanks,
Naresh

It is currently not possible.
