Hi Richard, Welcome to the org-mode community! What you describe should be the default behaviour. But items with no priority default to B so you need to drop the default priority below the items you normally set a priority for (ie D if A, B, and C are the only priorities you use). See org-default-priority, org-lowest-priority ,----[ example org file ] | * TODO [#C] Priority C task | * TODO [#B] Priority B task | * TODO [#A] High priority task | * TODO Some other task | | (setq org-default-priority ?D) | (setq org-lowest-priority ?F) | `---- Result from M-x org-agenda < t ,---- | -UUU:**--F1 foo.org All L8 (Org)------------------------------------------------------------ | Global list of TODO items of type: ALL | Available with `N r': (0)ALL (1)TODO (2)DONE | foo: TODO [#A] High priority task | foo: TODO [#B] Priority B task | foo: TODO [#C] Priority C task | foo: TODO Some other task `---- HTH, Bernt
