org-mode, display only unchecked items in a list

Post by dagst47 » Wed Jun 05, 2013 8:44 am

In org-mode using a checkbox list (which I understand falls outside of the agenda views) I cannot find a way to display only the unchecked items on a list, or sort a list putting unchecked items first. Assigning a TODO on each item wouldn't be practical- for example, if you have a large grocery list you don't want every grocery item to represent a separate TODO. The original TODO heading can track percent-complete, which is very useful but not entirely satisfactory when the sublist is very long.
Before I make this my first real E-lisp project, has anyone come up with a solution to this, or perhaps a better way to organize items with necessarily long checkbox-style sublists?
Thank you!
