Subject: `org-agenda-sorting-strategy` -- missing text properties.
Date: Sat, 06 Jun 2015 16:43:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2d2182yk1.wl%esq@lawlist.com> (raw)

There are nine (9) places in org-version 8.2.10 (which is included within Emacs public release 24.5.1) that could use some attention by the org-mode team.  I have fixed it in my own custom version of org-mode, but I have seen a couple of questions recently on the Emacs forums by users wondering why the sorting strategy does not always work in various situations.  The reason why users are having problems is because not all of the text properties are added during the data gathering process that are needed for `org-entries-lessp` to do its job.  I would suggest that the org-mode team look at all nine (9) locations where `org-add-props txt props` is used and try to add as many additional text properties as possible for members of the `org-agenda-sorting-strategy`.  Of course, the org-mode team
  will need to make decisions and code will need to be added to gather/assign the applicable values before the text-properties can be assigned.  In a nutshell, if the `org-agenda-sorting-strategy` offers a sorting type, then an effort should be made within the code to assign those corresponding text properties when the data is gathered.  Decisions by the org-mode team, include, but are not limited to, which timestamp will be used for a sorting date when both deadline and scheduled are present -- perhaps even a new sorting thing-a-ma-jig to deal with that special situation should be created.

Thanks,

Keith
