Is there a way to show the tasks in the agenda list grouped by category? I mean in the task list view (when pressing C-c a t) rather than the week-agenda.

org-super-agenda can do this kind of grouping. Just add (:auto-category t) to the org-super-agenda-groups list.

Something like 

(add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands
    '("t" "All TODOs groups by category" alltodo ""
        ((org-super-agenda-groups '((:auto-category t))))
    ))

Will generate a list of TODOs, grouped into sections by category.

  • As far as I can see, org-super-agenda groups the entries in the week-agenda rather than the task list. Is this not the case?

    It works the same with both types. I use it with the alltodo agenda, mostly because it's faster to use its :discard than org-agenda-skip-function

To set it for the default todo agenda you can do:

(setq org-agenda-sorting-strategy
      (cons '(todo category-up priority-down) org-agenda-sorting-strategy))

Otherwise, define a custom agenda:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands      
      '(("c" "List TODOs grouped by category" alltodo ""
         ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(category-up priority-down))))))

  • Thanks. I know how to sort by category, but I wanted to group by categories like org-super-agenda does.

  • Ok, I was just suggesting a poor's man grouping.
