Initially I thought org-agenda-sorting-strategy would do it, but only just found the variable's documentation: "Sorting structure for the agenda items of a single day." Since I want to sort the TODO entries *by day* (across multiple days), obviously this won't do it. So I still have the question. Given this (omitting tags): * Audio Class ** Audio session 03 *** TODO Write next week's assignment <2012-03-04> * Lessons ** Audio 2010 *** TODO Listen and critique <2012-03-03> ** TODO (something else, not time stamped) How do I get a tags-search (to-do only) like this? *** TODO Listen and critique <2012-03-03> *** TODO Write next week's assignment <2012-03-04> ** TODO (something else, not time stamped) Currently, I get *** TODO Write next week's assignment <2012-03-04> *** TODO Listen and critique <2012-03-03> *** TODO (something else, not time stamped) because that's the order in which they appear in the file. So I have to scan the whole list to find what's for today, what's for tomorrow etc. I keep thinking, orgmode can already practically make me a grilled cheese sandwich, so there must be a way to do this. Just can't find it. hjh -- James Harkins /// dewdrop world jamshark70@dewdrop-world.net http://www.dewdrop-world.net "Come said the Muse, Sing me a song no poet has yet chanted, Sing me the universal." -- Whitman blog: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/words audio clips: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/audio more audio: http://soundcloud.com/dewdrop_world/tracks
