Hi Marcin,
I tried to solve this issue for myself. My first attempt to solve
it was to understand which tags are interesting and then make a
template with as many tables as there were interesting tag
combinations. But then I faced another problem: sometimes I am
using different set of tags and templates don't work as good as
they could.
To mitigate that problem, I've tried different approach. I made a
small package that generates me reports for past week or past
month. It's working for me, but there are a lot of rough edges
around it. Basically it collects headers with clocks, copies them
to separate file, rearrange them and generate clock tables. You
can try it here:

Another way would be to write your own clock table sorter. See
this post on reddit:

And just for future references, in case Reddit someday will go
down:

Hi all,
here's the problem I'd like to solve. I clock various tasks,
and then
generate a clock table. So far, so good. But now I'd like to
know
better where my time goes. Most tasks I do have a few similar
components: discussion/research, writing code, testing, etc. I
thought
that I could create subheadlines under each of the tasks and
give them
tags like :discuss:, :code:, :test:, :debug: and so on. (Not
very
convenient, but doable, maybe with a bit of Elisp to automate
the
process.)
Now, I'd like to prepare two clock tables: one where I see how
much time
every task took, and one where I can see how much time I spent
coding,
testing, debugging, emailing etc. I can see in the docs that
there is
the ~:match~ option, but if I understand it correctly, it can
only
restrict the table to /one/ tag, so I'd need to have as many
tables as
I have tags - not optimal.
Any ideas? Should I use something else than tags for that?
TIA,
