@DavidWS,

1. You can use turn off Sort within Sections and, by sorting by a custom field, your existing sections will become second-level groupings:

> @Darin_Bellisario, @Bastien_Siebman, Maybe you have “Sort within Section” (at the bottom of the Sort menu) turned on? That gives you only one level–the group sort. Turn that off and you get two levels: 1) group, 2) section. I just touted this a couple days ago to a major client org so I certainly hope this isn’t changing! Larry

1. I sometimes use === ALL CAPS === sections which appear like level 1 sections, and then regular Initial Caps sections which appear like level 2 sections. (This is a hack!)

2. I don’t think it’s what you’re looking for, but in case you weren’t aware, you can also add Sections within tasks (which most call “Subsections”) in order to break up subtasks:

> @Jakub_Dvorak, It’s certainly not obvious how to do this, but the trick is to open the Task Detail pane or the task in which you want to add the Subsection. Then click on one of its subtasks (if there are none, click Add subtask first). Then do Tab+N there. Larry

Hope that helps,

Larry
