I'm working with a lot of pre-defined agendas, but I sometimes would like to change the sorting order of one of those to different criteria (by time, alphanumerically, etc.).

I did not find a way to do that in org-mode directly - did I overlook something, or do I really have to change the configuration of the whole agenda and rebuild it?

Related problem:

If I change the configuration of the agenda by changing the customizing options, those changes do only have an effect, if I kill the agenda buffer and launch the agenda again.

It would be nice, if I just could rebuild the existing agenda with "r" or "g", but that does not seem to be sufficient?

Kind regards

Martin

Did you find the variable `org-agenda-sorting-strategy'? That offers a lot of possibilities. > Related problem: > If I change the configuration of the agenda by changing the > customizing options, those changes do only have an effect, if I kill > the agenda buffer and launch the agenda again. > It would be nice, if I just could rebuild the existing agenda with "r" > or "g", but that does not seem to be sufficient? I'm afraid I don't know the answer to this, but would also be interested to hear what it is.

Pressing "r" for refresh will restore the default sort order for the buffer. Matt From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Samuel Wales Subject: Re: How to change agenda sorting order temporarily?
