Priority is the "[#A]" type cookie in the header of a task. A user-defined property that is a meaning of "priority" is not recognized by standard Org as a PRIORITY. You could write some Elisp to incorporate it into Org agendas with user-defined sorting functions. -- David Masterson ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Whoa. Interesting writing style. Info is pretty good, but lacks images to provide visual backing to the description. Also, some package writers write their docs for HTML (with images) and it doesn't quite come out write in Info. > note tht the word priority is used in 2 senses. t hre is a kind of > defult agend sorting that has its own calcualted priority and then > ther eare the priority cookies. i don't use the calculated priority > --- there is custom sorting avail via a var. maybe that is what you > are asking for ad if so you'd have to write a bit of lisp, which i > can't help you with but others might be able to. Hmm. I'll have to look at calculated priority. Thanks -- David Masterson ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
