How many categories do you need?
Using ABC with :low: :medium: :high: tags or so you got already 3x3
categories - isn't that already overkill?
You seem to want a kind of ordinal relationship between your tasks, not
really groups of tasks with similar importance.
You could use
* [#A] My A Tasks
** Subtask
** Subtask
** Subtask
* [#B] My B Tasks
** Subtask
** Subtask
** Subtask
* [#C] My C Tasks
** Subtask
** Subtask
** Subtask
and let the textual order of the subtasks determine their priority:
most important on top, least important at the bottom.
Then insert a new task where you think it fits ...
