Hi,

I have a problem with my appt.el replacement I develop.

When debugging, I found that `org-agenda-get-timestamps' does, depending
on the position of the SCHEDULED spec, do return a timestamp when an
entry is formatted like this:

** APPT 10:40 Xyz
    :PROPERTIES:
    :ID:       1d313f9a-3044-4c23-9278-422646ec9063
    :END:
    SCHEDULED: <2020-11-08 So +1d>

but not when formatted like this:

** APPT 10:40 Xyz
    SCHEDULED: <2020-11-08 So +1d>
    :PROPERTIES:
    :ID:       1d313f9a-3044-4c23-9278-422646ec9063
    :END:

although the latter form is, AFAICT, recommended, and at least it's what
I get when creating ids automatically with (org-id-get-create).

No timestamp, and my appointments don't work (bad).

Has anybody any insight into this matter?


TIA,

Michael.

To be valid, the SCHEDULED spec should be immediately following the
headline.  So this is just a timestamp...

...while this is a valid scheduled heading.

I haven't looked too closely, but at first glance
org-agenda-get-timestamps not detecting the second entry seems expected.
org-agenda-get-timestamps has a comment that says "[s]kip date ranges,
scheduled and deadlines, which are handled specially".  Still without
looking closely, I'd guess that the "handled specially" is referring to
org-agenda-get-scheduled and org-agenda-get-deadlines.

Hmm, seems my code has come to the same conclusion and magically started
working, without any change, AFAICT.  Strange, dunno how, but your
answer somehow helped.  Quantum physics, probably.  I hope it remains
so...

Thanks,

Michael.
