Yes, I see the idea.  But one Org headline can be part of several
agendas, so an AGENDA_BEFORE property will not work globally.

I think we should start thinking from the existing functionalities
we have with `org-agenda-sorting-strategy', which is already quite
rich (30 strategies!) and flexible.

But I cannot think of something that would match the OP request
at the moment.
