Thank you Bon! Actually, my advanced filter is successful in accomplishing the aim of decluttering my list. (The reason I did not opt for a simple grouping to accomplish it is because I'm already grouping my to-do list by flags denoting mental energy and time available--normal / "braindead" / "pocketwork." So adding a second layer of grouping makes the view extremely cluttered. Because then you end up with 3 * n groups, where n = number of "Top Level Parents" in your example. So even if n is a small number, you end up with a *lot* of groups. With my advanced filter, I only have 3 groups, but there is no clutter from errands lists / groceries lists / etc.)
My problem was that my advanced filter is NOT successful in filtering out inactive tasks. And I can't understand why--my filter rules seem to be properly set up to filter out inactive tasks.
