Activate org-indent-mode
. One way is to add a hook
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(org-indent-mode t))
t)
but the easier way is to customize org-startup-indented
to be non-nil.
Note that even when org-indent-mode
is non-nil, headlines still don’t enjoy auto-fill treatment. It’s only the body of an entry that will be both filled and indented left-justified against its parent heading’s left column.
