Dear malisa,

Thanks for your help. I realized in looking over your email that my the title for my original posting was misleading. Sorry for the confusion -- I'm still trying to get used to all the Omnifocus jargon. I was actually in planning mode, with "library" selected in the sidebar, grouping projects by due, sorting by due, viewing remaining, any duration, any flag state.

Despite my garbled post, your response was very helpful. It helped me figure out how to tinker with perspectives in the Context mode to get a list of tasks for projects with to-do items by date. More importantly, it helped me really understand the fundamental difference between how the planning and context mode were designed to help organize tasks. I had watched the videos, but somehow didn't quite "get it" until grappling with my sorting needs.

So thanks again for your advice! I think I'll get much more out of using OmniFocus now that I understand it better!
