Question for Bernt, but maybe more widely useful.
Bernt, in some of your org-capture-templates, you often include a %U
timestamp as well as clocking in the item in question. for example:
("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree "~/git/org/diary.org")
"* %?\n%U\n %i" :clock-in t :clock-resume t)
Why do you do that extra \n%U? Since the timestamp is going to be
identical to the first entry in the CLOCK: line, and since you can
have/not-have clocking items show up in the agenda, why have both the
:CLOCK line and the timestamp? What else do you get from having a
timestamp that you don't get from the CLOCK: line alone?
thanks,
Tommy

Hi Tommy,
The reason I have both is I create capture tasks and notes _fast_ and
remove empty clock lines - so there is no clock line or clock drawer
when I'm done in that that.
The %U is to record when I created the task/note.

Could sorting of entries be another reason: possible with inactive timestamp,
not with first clock line?
Best regards,
Seb
