Hello,
I'm working on a way to schedule reviews of projects, and I would like
to have them ordered by age in an agenda view. It seems that I want to
write my own `org-agenda-cmp-user-defined' function to do so.
Unfortunately I cannot find an example of such a function.
More precisely, given this:
,-----------------------------------------------------------------
| (defun org-review-schedule-compare (a b)
| "Compares the date of scheduled review for the two agenda
| entries. Returns +1 if A has been scheduled for longer, nil if
| they have been scheduled for the same length of time, and -1
| otherwise."
| ())
`-----------------------------------------------------------------
how can I access a property of `a' and `b'? (The documentation tells me
they are "agenda entries", but it's not clear how I can access their
information.)
Thanks a lot,
Alan

See how `org-cmp-alpha' works.

You can access agenda entries information by text properties.
Create an agenda view, then C-u C-x = on some entry: you will see
the list of available text properties that you can manipulate.

Thank you for the suggestion, this is good inspiration.

Thanks a lot, I'm able to get the information I need, thanks to
`org-marker' and `org-entry-get'.
