Say I have the following action structure:
- Project 1
- Task A (Due 1/4)
- Task B (Due 1/2)
- Task B.1 (Due 1/1)
- Task B.2 (Due 1/2)
- Project 2
- Task C (Due 1/3)
I would like to see a list of these actions sorted by their due dates, while retaining their hierarchy. Here's exactly the kind of list that I want to see:
- Task B (Due 1/2)
- Task B.1 (Due 1/1)
- Task B.2 (Due 1/2)
- Task C (Due 1/3)
- Task A (Due 1/4)
I have not found a way to get this kind of list in OmniFocus. It seems that my two options are:
1) Use a Project Perspective:
While this does retain the action hierarchy, it also groups the actions into their projects, which doesn't produce the same list as the one I want. In the following example, Task A appears before Task C even though it has a later due date.
Example:
- Project 1
- Task B (Due 1/2)
- Task B.1 (Due 1/1)
- Task B.2 (Due 1/2)
- Task A (Due 1/4)
- Project 2
- Task C (Due 1/3)
2) Use a Context Perspective:
While this mode does show the actions without any project grouping, it also gets rid of the hierarchy of the actions.
Example:
- Task B.1 (Due 1/1)
- Task B.2 (Due 1/2)
- Task B (Due 1/2)
- Task C (Due 1/3)
- Task A (Due 1/4)
This makes it very difficult to understand what "Task B.1" is, if it doesn't repeat "B" in its title.
Is there any way to get the results like I want them?
