Hello,
I use org to manage TODO lists in which I want to keep time stamps for
the creation of an item, and for each state change. To be as clear as
possible, I'll just paste the portion of my config that affects how
TODOs work:
(setq org-treat-insert-todo-heading-as-state-change t
org-log-into-drawer t
org-log-done nil)
(setq org-todo-keywords
'((sequence "TODO(t!)" "|" "DONE(d!)" "CANCELLED(c!)")))
(setcdr (assq 'state org-log-note-headings)
"State -> %s %t")
This logs each state change (including creation) into the LOGBOOK
drawer. It's great. My feature request concerns the order in which the
notes are logged. Each new note is inserted at the top of the drawer.
I would prefer it if they could be logged to the end of the drawer, so
that one could read all of the state changes in chronological order from
the top down.
Make sense?
Thank you,

Hi John,
Please check the variable
org-log-states-order-reversed
Documentation:
Non-nil means the latest state note will be directly after heading.
When nil, the state change notes will be ordered according to time.
Regards,
.j.

Somehow I missed that. Thank you for pointing it out. :)

I thought so too. I'd like to record creation in the logbook drawer
when I capture a TODO and have adjusted my templates to do so. They
just include the logbook drawer literally, like so
"* TODO %?
:LOGBOOK:
- State \"TODO\" from \"\" %U
:END:
%a
%i"
I thought that org-treat-insert-todo-heading-as-state-change would be
able to create the drawer for me but no such luck. Duh, capturing is
not a state change now is it.
Anyway, is there a smarter way to log creation at capture?
Thanks in advance,
