Hi,
when doing a "C-c C-x f" in order to insert a footnote in an org mode
document, the point is strangely positioned on the HEADING under which
footnotes are stored and not, as one would expect, near the actual
footnote marker [fn:X] where the text of the footnote goes. this is very
annoying as there is absolutly nothing to do at the "Footnotes" heading,
and one has to manoeuvre manually to the actual footnote every time over
and over again.
Is this a bug or can it be changed?
Thanks
Gerald.

I can confirm this. The bug seems to lie in
org-footnote-goto-definition. I'll see if I can dig a little deeper.

Could you tell me what the value of org-footnote-auto-adjust is on your
machine?
It seems on my end that the problem only occurs when
org-footnote-auto-adjust is set to t. The problem seems to be line 556
of org-footnote.el, which reorders the footnotes *after* the position of
the footnote definition has been saved. When I remove that line or set
org-footnote-auto-adjust to nil, the cursor is positioned correctly.

This patch should fix the issue. Testing is welcome.

@Matt Correct. I have set org-footnote-auto-adjust to t.

Hello,

Thanks for the patch.
However, `org-footnote-auto-adjust-maybe' needs to be called before
`org-edit-reference'. Otherwise, the footnote number in the remote
buffer is incorrect.
The marker information is not reliable anymore after sorting footnotes,
so it should be dropped. I applied a patch along this line.

Thanks Matt and Nicolas!
I still have org-footnote-auto-adjust set to "t" and the positioning of
point near the footnote marker works now with the sources I checked out
this morning!
One thing though: if I insert a new footnote in a region of text that
already has footnotes before and after, the auto adjust mechanism is
triggered by "C-c C-x f", but in this case point is set NOT near the NEW
footnote marker but always at the marker of the LAST footnote!
Can this be fixed as well?
Thanks
Gerald.

Nicolas, thanks for these amazingly fast and efficient fixes, works
perfectly now.

Indeed, I have set this variable to t!
