Bug report for 8.2.3c: When org-agenda-sorting-strategy is set to deadline-up (or similar values), the Global Todo list always places non-timestamped entries at the beginning, even when org-sort-agenda-notime-is-late is true. This is inconsistent with the behavior when org-agenda-sorting-strategy is time-up. I believe the problem is that the org-cmp-ts function copied a line from the older org-cmp-time function: (def (if org-sort-agenda-notime-is-late 9901 -1)) 9901 is later than all times of day, but not later than all date/time stamps. I am using org-mode version 8.2.3c / 20131125 from elpa on GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0, NS apple-appkit-1265.00) of 2013-10-27 Please let me know if there are any other details I can provide. Thanks, Michael Crouch
