No, this is currently not supported.  You could hack it in
using font-lock-add-keywords, but there is currently no
support for this in Org-mode.

It is sorted according to priority - but only within categories.
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.

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.

Google is your friend

http://wiki.tcl.tk/13200

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.
