Andrie Thank you - yes that's helpful.
Meanwhile can you help me with this problem. I am trying to create a list of Next Actions - one per Project, but also sorted not each Action's own Importance, but sorted by the Importance of the *Project* to which each action belongs. And also to be able to see and edit the Importance of the Project to which each Action belongs. Background: It seems to me that it is the Importance (and Urgency) of the Project itself that is the most helpful think to keep an eye one. Whereas if you sorted by the Importance of an Action then that would disappear as soon as the Action is completed. I have experimented *at some length* with "Next Actions by Project". And I have tried to use the filter setting: Filter ==> General ==> Show Actions: Next Actions However although this does create views that only show one Next Action project, and although the Projects are can be put into order of Project-level importance, you can not SEE (nor edit) the level of Importance on that screen. So that is useless to me(!) I have eventually concluded (after more time than is healthy!) that, very counter-intuitively, that "Next Actions by Project" is NOT the way to go. The only thing that seems to work is to tick "Complete Subtasks in Order" on every single project [slightly irritating] and then create a View with: Filter ==> General ==> Show Actions: Active Filter ==> General ==> Show Hierarchy: Yes Filter ==> Add Avanced ==> [un-ticked] Filter ==> Group & Sort ==> Group by ==> (none) Filter ==> Group & Sort ==> Sort... ==> Sort tasks by ==> Importance, Descending This has the added benefit that I can quickly see what other Actions are queuing up for a Project by unticking (Complete subtasks in order) field (using the hotkey Alt/P). And if I wish to change the Next Action for another one, I can of course then very easily scroll down and move the one of the other actions up into the Next Action position (e.g. by using arrow keys and Shift/Alt/UpArrow etc). And do all this without my hands leaving the keyboard. One problem: For larger projects, using "Complete Subtasks in Order" becomes a problem because the whole of the rest of the tree below a project is reduced to a single next task! And I still suspect that Next Action would be better, it's just that I can not for the life of me work out how to use it in a way that works as I need!
