Aloha all, An article from last year "[PATCH 4/5] Add a new sort option, which sorts items by todo keyword" describes what I'd like to do in my .org files, i.e., sort TODO headlines by the order of the TODO state in the TODO sequence. Given: #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) STARTED(s) WAITING(w@/!) APPT(a) DELEGATED(l@) | DONE(d!) CANCELLED(c@) DEFERRED(f@) I'd like to see DONE, CANCELLED, and DEFERRED down at the bottom and TODO, STARTED, WAITING, APPT, and DELEGATED up at the top in sorted order. Is this possible? All the best, Tom

I believe you are looking for org-sort. If you type C-c ^ o org-mode
will sort your headlines by todos (in the order in which they appear in
your settings).
If you are interested in sorting by TODO in the agenda, you can add
"todo-state-up" to your org-agenda-sorting-strategy.
Best,
Matt
Aloha Matt,
Thanks for taking the time to look at this. With C-c ^ o, I get
"Invalid sorting type `o'".
I'm using org-mode 5.23a with Aquamacs Emacs 1.8.

To sort by todo, you'll probably want to install the current distribution of org-mode (6.28): http://orgmode.org/index.html#sec-2 Best, Matt
