I'm using org-mode version 9.1.13 from elpa, and

have a custom agenda command:

And I have an org-file with this data:

The data is not sorted according to timestamp.  I cannot seem to 

get the data sorted in any fashion when using the "search" agenda mode.

However, if I change "search" to "tags" and search for the "foo" tag, then

it appears that the sorting works.  I've tested it with priority and timestamp

using the above data and it sorts the items correctly.

Why is my "search" agenda command ignoring the org-agenda-sorting-strategy?

Thanks,
