Hello Again,
I'm looking to sort my outline (headlines, top level) by multi criteria
(2 really). I see online references to 'org-sort-multi' as recently as
August 2009. But my emacs can't find it.
Help?

Hi David,
org-sort-multi is a utility function written by Ryan Thompson.
So far it has not made it into Org-mode. I seem to
remember that I did not have a convenient interactive
interface for it, but I am not sure if I remember correctly.
Another issue is that I am not sure if Ryan has signed the
papers with the FSF, which would be required for this
non-trivial change to Org.
Why don't you take Ryan's function and play with it, check
if it works for you, and if yes, try to convince me
to add it to Org-mode..?
Ryan, would you be willing to sign the papers with the FSF?
Did I ask you that before?
- Carsten

Hi.
Anyone can freely use any code I post here for any purpose, unless I
specifically say otherwise for a particular piece of code (I can't think of
any reason why would do this, though).
I've included the code for org-sort-multi below. Carsten is correct, it is
not an interactive function. In fact, it isn't really meant to be used
directly at all in its current form. I use it for defining specific custom
sort functions, of which I have also given an example below.
(defun org-sort-multi (&rest sort-types)
"Sort successively by a list of criteria.
For example, sort first by TODO status, then by priority, then by date, then
alphabetically, case-sensitive.
Each criterion is either a character or a cons pair (BOOL . CHAR), where
BOOL is whether or not to sort case-sensitively, and CHAR is one of the
characters defined in ``org-sort-entries-or-items''.
So, the example above could be accomplished with:
(org-sort-multi ?o ?p ?t (t . ?a))"
(mapc #'(lambda (sort-type)
(org-sort-entries-or-items
(car-safe sort-type)
(or (cdr-safe sort-type) sort-type)))
(reverse sort-types)))
(defun org-sort-custom ()
"Sort children of node by todo status and by priority, so the * TODO [#A]
items go to the top. Then fold it the way I like it."
(interactive)
(org-sort-multi ?o ?p ?T)
(dotimes (x 2) (org-cycle)))
