Hi Rasmus,

Sorry I think I totally missed your point earlier - I thought all you
wanted was to move the total column, not get time detail in column 1.

As Carsten mentioned, the agenda view with logging enabled (and
appropriate tag filters) may get you closer to what you are looking
for.  I use a combination of that and C-u R in the daily / weekly agenda
to get a summary of clock detail lines.

Bernt
