Subject: TODOs with repeat are not sorted correctly(?) in the agenda view
Date: Mon, 24 Dec 2012 08:59:16 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121224095559.427@usenet.piggo.com> (raw)

Hi fellows,

got the following bug report[1] from a Debian user:

  We have the <2012-12-23 Sun>.  I have in my TODO.org file the entries

  ***** TODO reference entry
        SCHEDULED: <2012-12-22 Sat>
  ***** TODO test entry +
        SCHEDULED: <2012-12-19 Wed +2d>
  ***** TODO test entry ++
        SCHEDULED: <2012-12-19 Wed ++2d>
  ***** TODO test entry .+
        SCHEDULED: <2012-12-19 Wed .+2d>

  When I type 'Ctrl-c a a' the agenda view gets created (with the
  default sorting settings) as follows:

    TODO:       Sched. 2x:  TODO reference entry
    TODO:       Scheduled:  TODO test entry +
    TODO:       Scheduled:  TODO test entry ++
    TODO:       Scheduled:  TODO test entry .+

  This is not the result I expect.  The test entries are scheduled 3
  days more in the past than the reference entry.  Thus, I would expect
  them to come first with 'Sched. 5x:' in front.  I understand that due
  to the repeats, the test entries virtually appear also on the 21st and
  23rd, and that's why it is sorted that way.  The sorting takes the
  last virtual appearance rather than the one real appearance.  But that
  means, that entries that I should work on every second day never makes
  it to the top of the priority list, which renders the priority list in
  the agenda view useless, I think.  When I work on one of the test
  entries and cycle through TODO-DONE-TODO, the SCHEDULED date is
  automatically incremented and only then should the entry appear later
  in the list.  This is the most reasonable behavior, I think.  However,
  since there seem different oppinions on that issue possible, it would
  be great to have at least an option that would allow to pick the one
  or the other behavior.

(Please note that he is still using version 7.01g). I'll point the user
to this thread so he can tell us more if need be.

Cheers,

--Seb
