Is there a function which aligns tags in an org document?
As I could not find on, I tried it with a slightly changed function from
ledger.el:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun org-align (&optional column)
(interactive "p")
(if (= column 1)
(setq column 95))
(while (search-forward ":" nil t)
(backward-char)
(let ((col (current-column))
(beg (point))
target-col len)
(skip-chars-forward "-:a-zA-z")
(setq len (- (point) beg))
(setq target-col (- column len))
(if (< col target-col)
(progn
(goto-char beg)
(insert (make-string (- target-col col) ? )))
(move-to-column target-col)
(if (looking-back " ")
(delete-char (- col target-col))
(skip-chars-forward "^ \t")
(delete-horizontal-space)
(insert " ")))
(forward-line))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It only works half because numbers are also skipped forward.

As far as I see it does what I want, but it an inconsistent way. I don't
understand it.
Expample:
** <2008-10-18 Sa>This is what I do at that date :holiday:
** TODO And here what I have to do on an other :schreiben:
The variable org-tags-column is set to -90. And when I set the cursor
behind any tag I get as resulting column 90.

Maybe I'm missing the point but I don't see an inconsistency here.
Are the two tags aligned flush right in your org file? They are not in the mail
message, but I suspect that's a tab handling problem in the almost infinite chain
from your org file to my inbox, and not an org-mode problem.
If they *are* flush right, then I think everything is as it should be, no? The
documentation for the variable you mention says:
The column to which tags should be indented in a headline.
If this number is positive, it specifies the column. If it is negative,
it means that the tags should be flushright to that column. For example,
-80 works well for a normal 80 character screen.
That's exactly what I get: when I set it to -90, they are flush right ending
at column 90; when I set it to 90, they are flush left starting at column 90.

No, they aren't aligned flush right, the above example looks exactly
like the according part of an org file - I did not copy/paste it.

Same here, the tags end or start at column 90, but it *looks*
inconsistent. If I put the cursor behind `:holiday:' the column number
is 90, and if I put it behind `:schreiben:' it's 90, too.
If you look at the above example you wouldn't expect this.

Aah, and the culprit is:
#+STARTUP: customtime
I was experimenting with in-buffer settings, this one caused the tag
display inconsistency. Now, that I have removed it, everything works as
it should.
Thanks to all
