Hi Bernt,

thanks a lot - I'm already working with your setup and currently struggling to
adapt it to my needs, but my elisp/emacs/org-mode knowledge is still too 
limited.

Is it true that "time-up" only sorts items which really have a time
(hours/minutes) defined, so it does not also sort everything with
date-timestamps by date?

I tried to modify your Block Agenda by inserting the following block:

(tags-todo "PRIORITY=\"A\"" (
                (org-agenda-overriding-header "Critical")
                (org-agenda-entry-types '(:deadline))
                (org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote (time-up category-keep)))
                (org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled 'future)
                (org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines 'future)
                ))

But unfortunately, it does only display category, TODO-keyword and subject, but
NO information about Deadline or Scheduled date.

Ho could I insert this additional "column" in the agenda view?

Kind regards

Martin
