Hello,

I try to do something with Org-mode and Org-ql[1], but don't know if
it's possible.

I have a directory with a few Org-mode files in it. And inside another
Org-mode file, I try to generate a table that list all the Org-mode
files of this directory.

Each Org-mode file of this directory have a "#+TITLE", a "#+DATE" and a
"#+KEYWORDS" buffer setting, and I would to use them as column in the
created table. And to sort this table by the "#+DATE" field.

I have looked into Org-ql dynamic bloc [2] to do that. Org-ql is an
amazing package, I love it. But, from what I understand, it only work
for searching Org-mode headings, not for searching Org-mode files like I
try to do.

Any one have an idea or a suggestion ?

You are right. Org-ql only searches headings.

You need to write Elisp to loop over files in the directory, open them,
and then query Org mode for TITLE, DATE, and KEYWORDS.
You can do it using `org-collect-keywords'.
