>The problem with TreePad and the other outliners I’ve looked at is every note can fit in one category and one category only. Am I the only one bothered by this? Is there an outliner that allows for multiple arrangements of the same elements that can be toggled back and forth?

MORE allows you to do this in a different, but perhaps ultimately more powerful, way through its Clone feature ñ which allows any individual headline to have any number of dynamic copies anywhere else in the tree structure, so long as the hierarchy isn’t violated. Instead of toggling between different arrangements, you use the Mark, Gather, and Clone commands to create alternative arrangements of existing elements as substructures within the tree itself, which you can view on their own using the Hoist command. (I have no idea whether this makes any sense at all in abstract description, but it’s an absolute die-without feature!)
