Understand the concept, love the single keystroke - struggling to understand TSW!!!

Got it - sorting by the tag column in top list view
IOS does't offer the top list view
- I would like that too for more reasons than the tag sorting

TSW does recomend prefixing the priority with a number, and sorting on the tag column. 
Another use was to identify action items with no tags.

I use shortcuts pointing to saved searches.
- a list of tasks with no tags          -tag:*
- a list of now tasks                       tag:"1-Now"
   with additional shortcuts for Next and Soon

Personally I found the 1-, 2-, 3- prefix counterproductive and I switched to a pefix of "When"
I start typing "When", I get a dropdown list displaying all my when tags

Another benefit of using a saved search is that it expands beyond the simple tag
For example, my Now list includes notes flagged as reminders - this allows notes to automatically appear on the required date and drop off when completed

   

I've not used saved searches before, but I will now. I really like your use of 'When ' as I don't always remember the correct formatting of the prefix, but this seems pretty foolproof and should give me the overview that I'm looking for.

Thanks for responding and correctly interpreting my query!

I add tasks to my Action pending notebook and tag them by urgency see - http://www.thesecretweapon.org/
On my PC I can see immediately which tasks have priority by sorting the tags, see attached image. On my iPad I can't do this and I want to!

I've seen this request come up in the past but without any response. I use a GTD system that depends on being able to sort by tags and find that I'm tied to my PC in order to do this.

Please consider adding this feature to iOS as I'm increasingly using my iPad and find the app a poor relation to the desktop version.
