So I have a lot of cases where there is a :PROPERTIES: drawer.  It
contains, crucially, an ID (I use those for linking).  When I close a
task with C-c C-t and pick DONE, or when I schedule it with C-c C-s, it
will insert CLOSED: or SCHEDULED: lines ABOVE the :PROPERTIES: line.

Unfortunately, org-mode only recognizes the PROPERTIES when they occur
immediately after the headline.  So whenever I take an action on an item
like this, the properties become invisible to org-mode.  I can always
restore it by reordering the text.

How do I address this?

Thanks,

John
