Hi Bernt,
thanks for your help - so if you can not make it work, I assume that it's not
possible yet? 
I tried your code - it does what it promises.. however, you're right, it's not
yet what I need:
I'd need Priority A and B in one view (table),
then sorted
* Prio A first
* Prio B second
lines sorted by date descending (newest first) .. would that be possible?

If I understand the problem right, I can get the deadline/scheduled information
in the agenda only with the "agenda" commmand, not with tags-todo or anything
else? This is a pity.
So theoretically, I'd have to use this agenda command and then tweak the sorting
function to arrange items by Prio first and then by date?
(That's what I tried already, based on your setup, but I was not able to make it
work yet..)

Kind regards

Martin
