What I have tried is to change the configuration of the custom command to have a line '(org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote (alpha-up)))' as the first line. I was expecting this to have the effect to sort the column view by the item text (my first column), but it did not seem to change anything at all. This made me wonder if i was on the right track. I presume if the alpha sorting works, i could try to write a custom sort on the SCHEDULED/DEADLINE property? marcel -- Marcel van der Boom -- http://hsdev.com/mvdb.vcf HS-Development BV -- http://www.hsdev.com So! web applications -- http://make-it-so.info Cobra build -- http://cobra.mrblog.nl
