Is there a way to filter on Max Time?

I thought I had seen this feature before but can't find it now.

If I have 20 minutes to kill, it would be nice to filter on tasks that will take less than 20 minutes so I could knock a couple of things out.
It would be even better if I could filter on time and contexts (e.g. 20 minutes @phone).

Thanks in advance,

Brian

I wanted to do the same, like grouping tasks for time (in 5, 10, 25 etc min groups) but is not available in the advanced menu.

Hi, I thought someone else had already answered this but now I can't
find the answer so I will answer, sorry if I'm duplicating.

You can filter on max time. Start by creating a view that shows all of
the tasks that would be eligible if you ignored the time, for example,
it could be a view that shows everything with the context @phone. Then
in the left hand sidebar find the section "Advanced" and tick the box
called "Add advanced". Click the setup box. Now create a rule that
reflects your filter, for example,
((TimeRequiredMax <= 5 min) AND (TimeRequiredMax >= 15 min))

If you need step by step instructions for creating a rule like this, and
you cant find any relevant tutorials, write back and say so.

Sorry to say that you cannot group by max required time, but you can
create and save a series of views, like the 5<t<15 one above, and then a
view for 15<t<30 and maybe one for t<5. You could even set up a series
of tabs and lock these views into the tabs, so you could scroll through
the groups quickly by just clicking across the tabs.

Thanks Dwight.
This is clunky and inefficient, especially on mobile.
If I could just group by time could have one single view instead of switching from a lot of views would be GREAT.
Appreciate your answers and suggestions though!
Cheers
