I'm putting project tasks together in the task pane and would like to
organize them by category or whatever. Can I put a pull down menu in there?
I'd like to be able to simply hit the pane and sort by those so maybe i
should just put a text field in there. It's really a hassle to type it in
each time though, since it doesn't look like it has one of those auto fill in
fields like in Excel.

For some reason this isn't letting me edit my post --- so ....
ok, i figured out how to sort by category by dragging the little field over.
Now my question is this: can i create custom groups of categories? Instead
of trashing the whole master category list, can I just create three or four
categories for a specific task list, separate from the main list, so I dont
have to arrow through twenty categories in the master list? Thanks

Not without creating a custom form and using that instead of the task list
to enter the category. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms/reqcat.htm

You can right-click any item, choose Categories, and select from the list.
