Okay, wow. Thanks for writing that. Do you have a Gittip or something? I would love to support your OSS work in some way or otherwise show my gratitude beyond words in an email!

Anyway. I tried your function and it works. But afterwards, the node is completely folded. So I added (org-cycle) to the sequence of functions inside save-restriction. That seems to work, but I'm no elisp/Org pro. Is this how you would have done it?

Try this:

(defun my-hide-all-drawers-in-current-subtree ()
  "Hide all drawers in the current subtree."
  (save-restriction
    (org-narrow-to-subtree)
    (org-cycle-hide-drawers 'all)
    (org-cycle-internal-local)))

(add-hook 'org-after-sorting-entries-or-items-hook
          'my-hide-all-drawers-in-current-subtree)

You can fix the cycling through the hook above.

HTH,
