Sorting problem

Sorting problem

[Harald Weis]

Happy New Year All,

Sorting does not seem to work. It worked once when I tested it in the
past. I don't remember the exact circumstances.

Now it doesn't work with org-5.16b or org-5.17a, at least not with
emacs21 which I use because of the remember.el port of FreeBSD.

The error message is invariably the following:

Wrong number of arguments: etc

Do I need emacs22 ?

BTW, when running the upgrade-org script, make produces error messages
(about 80 lines).

Apart from this org mode works fine.

Does it literally say "etc", or is this a place holder for
something else?

Sorry, Dominik, for the finger trouble. I meant to reply to 
the list only.

It's a place holder. I couldn't get the (5-line) error message
into the mouse in order to copy it. Whenever I try, it disappears.
And I'm just finding out that the message is fortunately kept
in the *Messages* buffer, although with lots of white space
and other funny symbols. Annoying. Here it is:

<paste>

</paste>

I am testing the 'C-c ^' command  on a simple two-headline-levels text,
for an active region or not.

Apart from the fact that I cannot get sorting work, I wonder why the
content of the children is unfolded if I only want the children
headlines sorted ?

Thanks,

Can you cut and paste the console output to the list ?

Could be something to do with BSD vs Linux I suppose. I haven't used a
BSD distro since we retired our SunOS boxes many moons ago, but I'm sure
someone on the list will be able to help anyway.

I've saved it in the attached file.
Hope the list allows small attached text files.
If not, I cut and paste.

OK -the stuff you are seeing on the screen is the result of the byte
compilation of the lisp code.

Unfortunately I don't know a great deal about lisp code, but others on
this list do. It looks to me as though these are warnings rather than
critical errors, as it appears that the .elc files are being produced
anyway.

There was something in the list recently about trying to reduce the
number of warnings from compiling the lisp files, so I think one of the
competent people will be addressing this soon. :-)

Therefore my advice would be - if the .elc files are OK, and org-mode
loads up OK, don't worry!  ;-)

You seem to be using a version of Emacs in which the command
`sort-subr' does not yet allow the `predicate' argument as the 6th
argument to the call.  Apparently this is the case in Emacs 21
that you are using - unfortunately I don't anymore have emacs 21
on my system.....

Is there a reason why you are not yet using Emacs 22?

The "funny symbols" are there because the Lisp code is compliled, read  
the
Feedback section of the Org-mode manual to see to to improve on this.

This is because Emacs is cutting and then re-inserting all the tree
nodes, and that would mess up the hiding anyway.

The reason was the set of the other emacs-related ports like
the ``remember.el-emacs21-1.9_2'' port.

I've just installed Emacs 22. There was no warning coming from
the other ports!
Sorting (as everything else) is now working fine :-)

Thank you very much for your help, Dominik.

Thanks to Pete for his last message. No, I don't worry!
