I don't think you can do this ... but you can use column view to overlay the deadline on the agenda. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+COLUMNS: %50ITEM %DEADLINE * Deadline agenda view :sometag: DEADLINE: <2012-02-04 Sat> [2012-02-05 Sun 09:39] --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- With this org file open C-c C-c on the #+COLUMNS: line once to set the value C-c a 1 a - goes to the agenda with only this file C-c C-x C-c - start column view displaying deadlines You can set this as your default agenda view with --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq org-columns-default-format "%50ITEM %DEADLINE" --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- then you can use it in any agenda view to overlay the deadline details.
