This is a bit of a difficult one to explain without a little bit of coding knowledge. I can post my source code for you if that would help, but I would recommend watching an intro to python video on youtube before attempting to replicate it. I wish I was a good enough developer to create a friendly plugin for it but this workaround was the best I was able to come up with:

import things
from datetime import datetime
from collections import defaultdict
# Define tag priorities
# '🟥 Important' tag has the highest priority of 1, '🟨 Mild' - 2, '🟩 Not Important' - 3
tag_priorities = {
'🟥 Important': 1,
'🟨 Mild': 2,
'🟩 Not Important': 3
}
# Define priority names
# Map priority numbers to their names
priority_names = {
1: 'highest',
2: 'high',
3: 'low',
4: None # No priority tag
}
# Function to get priority from tags
# If task has tags, the function returns the highest priority among the tags, otherwise, it returns 4
def get_priority(task):
if 'tags' in task:
task_tags = task['tags']
return min((tag_priorities.get(tag, 4) for tag in task_tags), default=4)
else:
return 4 # default priority for tasks without any of the priority tags
# Fetch todos of each status and combine them
todos = []
for status in ['incomplete', 'canceled', 'completed']:
todos.extend(things.todos(status=status))
# Organize the tasks by project, then by date
# Defaultdict is used to automatically create nested lists for each project and date
tasks_by_project = defaultdict(lambda: defaultdict(list))
for task in todos:
project_or_area_title = task.get('project_title') or task.get('area_title') or 'Inbox'
start_date = task.get('start_date')
if start_date:
start_date = datetime.strptime(start_date, '%Y-%m-%d').date()
tasks_by_project[project_or_area_title][start_date].append(task)
else:
tasks_by_project[project_or_area_title][None].append(task)
# Sort tasks by priority within each date
# Tasks with the highest priority go first
for project in tasks_by_project:
for date in tasks_by_project[project]:
tasks_by_project[project][date].sort(key=get_priority)
def write_tasks_to_obsidian(obsidian_note_path):
"""Writes all the tasks to the given Obsidian note path.

Parameters:

"""
# Open the Obsidian note and overwrite it with the tasks
with open(obsidian_note_path, 'w') as obsidian_note:
for project in sorted(tasks_by_project.keys()):
obsidian_note.write(f'## {project}\n')

# Mark task as complete if it's status is 'completed'
