Not sure what you mean by "sub-groups". And I'm pretty sure I don't do
anything special to get this. The grid is the standard grid - I
believe that comes "free" with the default settings of
org-agenda-time-grid and org-agenda-use-time-grid.
The appts:, work: and Weather: thingies are "categories" - the first
two come from the name of the agenda file where the item originated:
I have a work.org file for work items and an appts.org file which contains just
reminders. It actually contains a bit more: there are top-level headlines
for Anniversaries, Weather and Appointments like this:
,----
| * Anniversaries
| :PROPERTIES:
| :CATEGORY: Anniv
| :ID: 409062f6-6cb1-467f-b192-2dfcb7b384ca
| :END:
| %%(org-bbdb-anniversaries)
|
| * Weather
| :PROPERTIES:
| :CATEGORY: Weather
| :END:
| %%(org-weather)
|
| * Appointments
| ** APPT Doctor appt <some date and time>
| ....
`----
Items in the Appoinments section don't have a defined Category
so they are labeled with the fill name ("appts"). Anniversaries
and Weather items have a CATEGORY property so they are labeled
by the explicit category.
I don't remember whether I do anything special to sort the items
(e.g. why the Weather item is always last). If you are interested
in that, I can dig a little more into my configuration.
Does that answer your question?
