Sorting CLOCK entries

Sorting CLOCK entries

[Chaitanya Krishna Ande]

Hello there,

I was wondering if there is a way to sort clock entries like in the 
clock entries below.

The table is sorted in reverse chronological order except for the last 
two. I was wondering if there is some to sort these entries so that the 
last two entries sit in the right place.

CLOCK: [2015-01-21 Wed 16:37]--[2015-01-21 Wed 16:53] =>  0:16
CLOCK: [2014-12-02 Tue 18:29]--[2014-12-02 Tue 18:57] =>  0:28
CLOCK: [2014-12-02 Tue 11:50]--[2014-12-02 Tue 12:01] =>  0:11
CLOCK: [2014-12-01 Mon 17:32]--[2014-12-01 Mon 17:57] =>  0:25
CLOCK: [2014-10-27 Mon 17:10]--[2014-10-27 Mon 17:47] =>  0:37

CLOCK: [2014-10-15 Wed 11:44]--[2014-10-15 Wed 11:59] =>  0:15

CLOCK: [2014-11-04 Tue 12:58]--[2014-11-04 Tue 13:28] =>  0:30

AFAIK org-mode doesn't have any dedicated support for this, …

… and I'm not sure where this situation comes from (other than manual 
editing),

> CLOCK: [2014-11-04 Tue 12:58]--[2014-11-04 Tue 13:28] =>  0:30

… but a manual fix for this particular case is as easy as marking the 
affected range of lines and saying C-u M-x sort-lines.

Cheers,

Christoph

Awesome, I never think of the `sort-lines' function. Thank you !
