TODO agenda filtering on priority?

TODO agenda filtering on priority?

[James Harkins]

How to make a TODO agenda search that will show only #A priority items? (Or #B or #C?)

I see in the manual how to search on tags or properties, but not priorities. I suppose I can write a custom function, but I don't see documentation on the argument(s) passed to that function.

In the end, I want to make an block agenda with the priorities in different blocks.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

The manual has an example for matching PRIORITY, linked from several
other manual pages about searches, here:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Matching-tags-and-properties.html

Be aware to set #B explicitly on the headline because of an issue with
the default priority described here:

Oops, missed that, thanks.

Ugh, no fun. Maybe I'll try to figure out a custom search function.

And my solution, for now: just a separate block for priority A. Priority B and C, I guess, don't really need to be in separate blocks.

 '(org-agenda-custom-commands
 (quote 
   (
     ("0" "Block TODO" (
       (tags-todo "PRIORITY=\"A\"" (
         (org-agenda-overriding-header "TOP PRIORITY")
         (org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote (user-defined-up)))
       ))
       (tags-todo "-PRIORITY=\"A\"" (
         (org-agenda-overriding-header "Others")
         (org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote (priority-down user-defined-up)))
       ))
     ) nil nil)
   )
 ))

Thanks for the tips!
James
