Subject: wish list: sort tasks by age
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:04:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9FE27D7D-3CB3-4B17-9061-0AFF0FCD0AFF@contrapunctus.net> (raw)
I would love to be able to sort TODOs by their age, so it becomes
painfully obvious what I have been ignoring. Since org relies on free-
form text (a strength), it's tricky to ensure that every item gets a
'creation-time' property. But it doesn't need to be accurate to the
second; even a script that added that property once every day or so
might do the trick.
Since I commit my agenda files to git every day or so, I can actually
get an approximation to this with git-blame... grep the TODO
headlines, then sort by commit date. It's pretty hackish, and I'm not
sure I want to go to the trouble of integrating that raw data with the
agenda view, if there's a better way within org.
Ideas? Thanks!
Chris
