I think it doesn't make sense to have `org-agenda-set-category' until we are able to set the category as a property of the headline. For now categories (like the archiving locations) are set by looking *backward* for a line like #+CATEGORY or #+ARCHIVE. When setting the category with `org-agenda-set-category', where should such a line be inserted/modified? Just above the headline? Then storing this headline won't delete the #+CATEGORY line. Just under the headline? Then the headline itself won't be recognized as belonging to that category... See the discussion here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/2898 Please anybody stops me if I'm wrong, but I guess the #+ARCHIVE and #+CATEGORY instructions are slowly dying and will be set as properties in the future. We already (as of 5.07) have these new properties when archiving: :ARCHIVE_TIME: 2007-09-01 sam 05:54 :ARCHIVE_FILE: ~/org/bzg.org :ARCHIVE_CATEGORY: nothot Then, in the new world, where such #+CONSTRUCTS are only used to set *file* properties (not headlines properties), it will be okay to set whatever property you want through the column view -- and perhaps the column view itself would be available in the agenda ebuffer, which would let you have your `org-agenda-set-category'. (Of course #+CATEGORY will remain, but only as a way to categorize files, not headlines.) > This would allow one to quickly categorize tasks.

Maybe `org-sort-entries' could group entries that have a property in common. -- Bastien _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
