Okay, I've read a fair bit in the archives here, and I can't see what
I'm doing wrong. I've globally set `org-agenda-sorting-strategy' to
'(ts-up). I want to sort TODO entries in the agenda by timestamp.
I can't figure out where to put the timestamp to make it work. It looks
like `org-cmp-ts' tries to get the 'timestamp text property from the
heading, but none of my headings display that property in that function.
I've festooned the headings with timestamps -- where is it supposed to
go?

Or is some other setting that's blocking this from taking effect? I
noticed other people in the archives saying that timestamps on heading
lines didn't appear in the Agenda, but mine do. Could that be related?
Puzzled,
Eric

a parser expert can correct me, but headline and after properties
should both be fine. several of us rely on timestamps in headlines.
there is a [broken] variable to remove timestamps from headlines, but
i don't think it's relevant.
have you tried timestamp-up?

That did it! Thanks so much. I was only trying ts-up and tsia-up. The
docstring might be wrong then when it says timestamp-up is for any
timestamp, and ts-up is for active timestamp -- you'd assume that the
one would simply be a subset of the other.
In fact this works so well that I don't need to change my capture
templates. When capturing from emails, I've got the template set up to
make the first body paragraph read "Receieved on [inactive timestamp]".
I suddenly realized I should be sorting on that for the agenda, and then
I assumed I'd have to change the template to put the date somewhere more
accessible, but timestamp-up finds it there.
Thanks again,
Eric

Ugh, it doesn't work in a custom Agenda block, though...
