OK, thanks. I was starting to think it would come to that. Kind of surprising this isn't offered out of the box.

I think I need a bit more guidance, from you or someone else.

Is there already an org function to do this? C-h a searches on the following yielded nothing that seemed interesting.

org.*date.*
org.*timestamp.*

I was about to make that more complicated, but actually string comparison should be fine for this. No worries there.

I have done rather little with emacs-lisp so... this is uphill for me. Thanks.
