Re: [Orgmode] More on GTD, browse todos by priority or creation date
org-mode's priority doesn't actually work well with GTD. In org-mode, priority is not inherited, so you can't prioritize projects, only tasks. Usually when this has come up on the list before, the answer is to use tags for priority when you want to prioritize tasks.

[Orgmode] More on GTD, browse todos by priority or creation date
Hi, I just found out this wonderful tool, and have gone through all the tutorials. What I haven't figured out is how to browse todo items by priority or creation date. Let me explain in details. On reading the tutorials, I just found that that I've developed a methodology to handle things I need to do almost exactly as David Allen's Getting Things Done. Moreover, the methodology is backed up with my home- grown simple emacs todo-mode (~200 lines), which allows me, - track everything that need to be done - track their logged/creation time - assign priority to each todo item - put arbitrary amount of info under each item All these are important to me, because most of the todo items are unrelated and belongs to the Someday/Maybe class, which get mind swept into my huge todo file, for me to recall all the things that I thought about doing. What to do next is not only decided based on context, how much time available and my energy level, but also most importantly, their priorities. My todo-mode allows arbitrary priority levels, and todo item's priority can be changed with a single click. Ok, enough off-track babbling, what I want to know is that weather org- mode can somewhat allows me to assign arbitrary levels of priority to my todo list, and let me browse them in their priority order (so that high priority items get done first). The creation date is another way for me to browse my todo items to see what have been on the list for too long.
