Generally speaking, the priorities are a sorting tool. Tags may be used for that goal, too, and by a sheer coincidence (or not?) the proposed tags Urgent, Tomorrow and Low are in the right alphabetic order. If you need more than 3 groups, however, you'll have to take that into account. Also, it's OK to use tags instead of priorities as long as you don't want the records to be sorted by yet another criterion. Otherwise, you need something to complement the tags and the priorities are perfect here. Also, in the files where tags are used extensively, the tag you want the records to be sorted by may happen to be in any position but the last one, thus breaking the sorting. That's why I prefer priorities to the corresponding tags, even though the best use I have for them is setting the rating of the read books :). They're simply indispensable for that goal. -- With best regards, Dmitri Minaev Russian history blog: http://minaev.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
