On the Mac, go to context view, group by start date, close the groups that don't interest you, and save as a perspective, checking the restore expansion box in the Perspectives window. Now you have a perspective that allows you to see recently started actions even on the iPad (context mode perspectives are available on the iPad, though they have to be created on the Mac). The iPad app will do the grouping a bit differently — instead of the Mac's "logarithmic" grouping (bigger groups as you get farther away from today), everything is grouped day by day. If you tap and hold on the triangle at the upper right corner of each group, you'll have options to collapse/expand that group or all groups.
