Hi,

I prefer to have a blank line before headings (and have set
`org-blank-before-new-entry' for this effect), but I can't figure out
how to preserve this spacing when sorting trees.

,----
| * First heading
|
| ** bbbb
|
| btext
|
| ** aaaa
|
| atext
|
| * Second heading
`----

If "First heading" is sorted alphabetically, the blank line before
"bbbb" is lost.

,----
| * First heading
|
| ** aaaa
|
| atext
| ** bbbb
|
| btext
|
|
| * Second heading
`----

(I don't think this behavior has changed recently, but my current Org
version is release_8.2.5h-909-ge24f33 just in case.)

Does anyone have suggestions for maintaining a space before headings
after sorting?

Thanks
