I am having the same issue. I don't use folders , but use contexts instead of folders as putting tasks in folders is a huge pain in android. however, i'm having difficulting filtering the tasks by contexts and grouping by contexts
I have @ for people and also #Today #this week #later as well.. i have a filter that shows me @People and then the #Today and #This Week I would like to see the group by contexts so i can group by '#today and #whats next week. currently the results are doubled, 1 for #time and 1 for @people would the filter by child help? I am using text tags and the flags function already for other purposes. I am 'powering using' contexts in replace of folders because android isn't very friendly to moving tasks around.
