Hm, these would sort lines of the buffer after the agenda is created (is there a hook in org to do so?), but the idea is to tell org how to sort before putting the stuff in the agenda buffer.

I'm looking for a function that will do this -- given:

** DONE PUSH onFailure arg for waitForBoot <2012-01-31 Tue>

and the regexp "<[^>]+>" -- return <2012-01-31 Tue>.

I can find emacs lisp functions for regexp search within a buffer (nope), but the point is not to look in a buffer. It's to pass in the source string.

Did several google searches, and couldn't find the magic words (search terms).

Thanks,
James
