Hi, Andrew. I am not 100% sure, but I'm guessing that you have fallen
into the trap involving active status and future start dates. This has
been discussed at length in this forum over the last decade and you can
probably find the discussions by searching the forum.
Let me ask you one more question: is it possible that in every single
case where an inactive task appears as an unwelcome entry in your view
the task's reason for being inactive is that it has a future start date?
If not, then something else is wrong, please let me know more about it.
If I have correctly guessed the issue, then here is how you fix it:
Wherever you have coded (ActiveAction) replace it with ((ActiveAction)
AND ((StartDateTime orOrBefore Now) OR (StartDateTime doesNotExist)))
ActiveAction ignores the start date in order to enable views like
"active next seven days"

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.

Would simple grouping give you what you need? Have the groups
collapsed by default then when you want to go to another
level, expand the group.
