I wonder if the following is possible with Views:
(notice that the result should be one list of teasers)

Desired result:
A view that shows all posts assigned to a person, sorted alphabetically on the priority names.

The vocabulary in a) holds priority levels.
The vocabulary in b) holds names of people who some content is assigned to.

a) Initial filter: List teasers from posts that have terms anywhere in a hierarchy under a specific term (term/NN/all)
b) limit the list in a) to a specific term in a second vocabulary (a vocabulary that holds names of people, limit to list posts tagged (assigned to) only one person)
c) sort the resulting list not on latest date, but alphabetically on the terms in the vocabulary in a)

(PS. the focus for this is on normal content, so I am not looking to use a project management module or task list module, only a solution to use normal taxonomy on any type of content.)

Sorry, unfortunately this support request is way too specific. Please have a look at the issue queue - Views maintainers are buried already. You might want to try to get further support at http://drupal.org/support. Additionally, the answer to your question might be covered in the handbooks at http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/views already.
If you were able to solve this issue on your own in the meantime, you might want to add the involved steps to this closed issue, so other users searching for a similar solution might find it.

I've been researching this and I have not found a way. The views handbook page says if you have more than one vocabulary on a node type, then sorting by term will produce apparently nonsensical results. elsewhere merlinofchaos also says this kind of task is hard.

HI----

Please Nancy drew I need you help! I have been downloading every taxonomy module I can find.

I have several aggregated news feeds which contain numerous taxonomy tags from several taxonomy vocabularies.

Now,

I have a Taxonomy category "Business"

And several nodes in that category.

CAT Business
Node A
Term1
Node B
Term 1
Term 2
Node C
Term 1

I am trying to create a sortable list which I can

1) Change the CAT Selection ---- IE Business / Health / Science (with the option of multiple categories or all even?)
1a) Chose the cat of the term you are interested in learning about

2) List the tax term with the total number of times it is listed in a node... for the above example it would be
Term 1 (3)

3) Sort the list from ascending to descending or vice versa
Term 1 (3)
Term 2 (1)

4)Allow a filter to be added which would limit the time period by node published date

5) allow you to set the number of terms to display with paging option.
