I'd like to sort agenda entries in a custom agenda view by the value
of a text property that I put on the headlines.
Is there a way to do that?
thanks,
ilya

Well, no.
Maybe playing around with org-map-entries could yield some result.

When giving a user-defined function for org-agenda-cmp-user-defined,
the function gets two agenda entries. Is there a way from an agenda entry
to get to the original org entry?
Best would be if, besides a user-defined sort function, you could also provide
a function that takes the org entry and the agenda item (i.e. is run with point
on the org entry and is passed the agenda item), and can then store anything
it wants about the org entry as text properties on the agenda item.
The companion user-defined sorting function could then use these stored
text properties for ordering the agenda items. Could you add such a hook?
thanks,
ilya

Yes, the marker that points to the original entry is stored in text
properties.
You can take it and then go to the entry, for example with
(org-with-point-at (org-get-at-bol 'org-hd-marker)
;; do here what you need to do at the location of the entry
)
You could do this in org-finalize-agenda-hook for all entries, for
example.
Might slow things down, of cause.

Thanks! Would things work faster if there was a user-defined hook
that was called at each agenda entry at the same time
the 'org-hd-marker property gets stored, so it could store any other
things it needs from the entry as text properties for later
use by user-defined entry sorting routine?

This would be similar in speed, I think. At least my proposal
only goes to the stuff that has made it into the agenda.
Ahh, you need the stuff in the sorting function - so it is too
late when the stuff is in the agenda.
I'll look into adding a hook...

Please pull and take a look at the new variable
`org-agenda-before-sorting-filter-function'.
Martin, I think you could use this variable also for your
"filtering" application.

Thanks Carsten, org-agenda-before-sorting-filter-function does what I need.
It would be better if it was called with the point already on the
corresponding headline in the corresponding buffer.
This would also be faster as you could call it for all entries in one
buffer at a time, avoiding a separate excursion for each entry.
It seems that _appending_ text to the agenda line should be safe. Is
that correct?
thanks,
ilya

Here is code of a general nature.
(defun alpha-org-entry-get (property &optional sg inherit)
"Return the value of PROPERTY, whether you are in the outline
or the agenda, by calling `org-entry-get'.
SG is the agenda header string provided by user-defined agenda
sorting, or nil. If it is nil and you are in the outline, use
the current headline directly. If it is nil and you are in the
agenda, use the current headline by going to the outline.
INHERIT is the inherit argument for org-entry-get.
According to the manual at the time of this writing, possible
properties include these.
TODO The TODO keyword of the entry.
TAGS The tags defined directly in the headline.
ALLTAGS All tags, including inherited ones.
CATEGORY The category of an entry.
PRIORITY The priority of the entry, a string with a single letter.
DEADLINE The deadline time string, without the angular brackets.
SCHEDULED The scheduling timestamp, without the angular brackets.
CLOSED When was this entry closed?
TIMESTAMP The first keyword-less timestamp in the entry.
- this works even in the headline
TIMESTAMP_IA The first inactive timestamp in the entry.
- this works even in the headline
- it does not seem to report CLOSED ts -- use CLOSED
CLOCKSUM The sum of CLOCK intervals in the subtree. org-clock-sum
must be run first to compute the values.
ITEM The content of the entry.
For anything else, you can use marker-buffer to get to the
outline and do manual parsing or use some other function. Or
possibly modify org-entry-get to understand it and send a patch
to the org mailing list.
The idea is to use this as a single way to get most metadata no
matter where you are.
"
(org-entry-get
(cond
((eq major-mode 'org-agenda-mode)
(let* ((s (or sg (buffer-substring (point-at-bol) (point-at-eol))))
(m (or (get-text-property 1 'org-marker s)
(get-text-property 1 'org-hd-marker s))))
;;do this to get to the buffer if you need other data that
;;org-entry-get cannot extract
;;(b (and m (marker-buffer m))))
;;; (if b
;;; (with-current-buffer b
;;; (goto-char m)
m))
((eq major-mode 'org-mode) (point))
(t (error "Not in an org-mode buffer")))

The problem here is that I would have to insert a call to the hook in
many different places as there are many different functions that
collect entries for the agenda.

It might be, but there is a possibility that updating the line after
say a TODO state change will not work exactly like you wanted.

in org-finalize-agenda-entries, when you call
org-agenda-before-sorting-filter-function, could you
save-excursion and move to the original org entry before each call?

that's ok in my case, the agenda items i'm collecting aren't todo items.
thanks! maybe, document this in the docstring of
org-agenda-before-sorting-filter-function .

I could. But some applications of this hook will not need this
overhead,
so it is better to put this overhead into the function itself.
We can make it easier, like a single macro for going there and back
again...
Something like (untested):
(defmacro org-agenda-with-point-at-orig-entry (string &rest body)
"Execute BODY with point at location given by `org-hd-marker'
property.
If STRING is non-nil, the text property will be fetched from position 0
in that string. If STRING is nil, it will be fetched from the beginning
of the current line."
`(let ((marker (get-text-property (if string 0 (point-at-bol))
'org-hd-marker string)))
(with-current-buffer (marker-buffer marker)
(save-excursion
(goto-char marker)
,@body))))
And in your setup you would hen define the filter function like
(defun my-before-sorting-filter (line-string)
(org-agenda-with-point-at-orig-entry line-string
....
....
))
