Two thoughts:
1) I recently requested a feature addition like this for sparse trees and
Bastian quickly and awesomely added it:
- http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/55501
I wonder if something similar could be added to agenda to allow for what
you want?
2) On that note, have you looked at the agenda log mode? It seems that it's
nearly got what you're looking for, except at the moment it only allows for
things with inactive time stamps that are todo state changes, clocked, or
have been marked done.
Perhaps log mode could have a "journal" mode in which all time stamped
items are extracted?
I'm thinking someone will have to add a tweak to current functionality.
There's a bit I found when googling that org-mode can sort by timestamps --
I'm assuming this means to rearrange actual headlines in the file, which is
probably not what you want. Perhaps the build in sorting combined with the
above could get you the view you're looking for.
Best regards,
John
