BOTTOM LINE: I don’t think there is a way but I want you to know I thought
about it.
HOW I’D PROBABLY DEAL WITH IT: I’d either not use contexts for both people and
dates, or else create two views: one grouped by dates and one grouped by
people. I don’t like that approach though; I hate switching views.
DETAIL: Doubled “somethings” has always been a problem for me, not just in this
software but others. In all cases I eventually throw in the towel and find a
way to harness the power of something else. I don’t think it applies to your
situation, but one additional trick I use that you didn’t mention is including
the PERSON, in caps in the caption, and somehow filtering for caption. Again,
different situation. I use contexts for time, not place. So when I want to do
something in my Dudley office, I include DUDLEY in my caption, and my
Winchester view filters out any caption containing DUDLEY.

Subject: [MLO] Re: Include only contexts starting with #
I am having the same issue. I don't use folders , but use contexts instead of
folders as putting tasks in folders is a huge pain in android. however, i'm
having difficulting filtering the tasks by contexts and grouping by contexts
I have @ for people and also #Today #this week #later as well.. i have a
filter that shows me @People and then the #Today and #This Week
I would like to see the group by contexts so i can group by '#today and #whats
next week. currently the results are doubled, 1 for #time and 1 for @people
would the filter by child help? I am using text tags and the flags function
already for other purposes. I am 'powering using' contexts in replace of
folders because android isn't very friendly to moving tasks around.

Ah text tags, good idea. I'm not using them for anything so could easily just
use them for people.
Much appreciated Stéphane

Interesting problem. So you're grouping your filter results by Context. You
can't sort by Context, as that field can have more than one value. Group by
Context makes a result appear under whatever Contexts you have assigned to it,
so it can appear multiple times.
Because you're using Contexts for more than one category of "thing" - eg people
and places, I can't think of a way of filtering and grouping to solve your
problem. Just one suggestion: Have you considered using Flags or Text Tags to
list the people involved in a task, instead?

Hi All,
I'm just messing around with my filters.
I've moved all people based contexts to start with a # and left other types
with an @
What I'd like to do is create a view that will just return the # people (I'm
going to call it...people).
Now I've got the basic part working (advanced filter, ContextsText starts with
'#') but I still get groups with the other contexts underneath ie if I had a
task such as
Ring person A #PersonA @Phone
I get an @Phone block at the bottom of my view as well as the #PersonA one at
the top.
Normally this is the behaviour you'd want but the point of this view is only
for when I'm in people mode, the @ contexts aren't relevant. Obviously this is
just me wanting a perfect view (imagine having to just ignore the groups at the
bottom, terrible!) but hey, why not, is there any way around it?
PS I've tried blocking @ but that takes them out of the # groups as well
Thanks,
Edd
