Re: [O] Agenda search: setting sort-order

[Nathan Neff]

Bumping this question to see if anyone has a workaround -

I recently have been wishing to search for keywords and order

the results in reverse timestamp order.  

This sounds like a fairly useful and common feature, so I think 

there must be something I'm configuring incorrectly.  I am able 

to reproduce the problem using a fairly clean Emacs install (a 

VM with no customizations).

Thanks,

Hi all,

I'm using org-mode version 9.1.13 from elpa, and

have a custom agenda command:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands

   '(

     ("z" search "" 

       ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(timestamp-up))))))

And I have an org-file with this data:

* TODO [#C] Test1                                                       :foo:

<2018-04-24 Tue 19:30>

* TODO [#A] Test2                                                       :foo:

<2018-05-24 Thu 19:30>

* TODO [#B] Test3                                                       :foo:

<2017-12-24 Sun 23:33>

The data is not sorted according to timestamp.  I cannot seem to 

get the data sorted in any fashion when using the "search" agenda mode.

However, if I change "search" to "tags" and search for the "foo" tag, then

it appears that the sorting works.  I've tested it with priority and timestamp

using the above data and it sorts the items correctly.

Why is my "search" agenda command ignoring the org-agenda-sorting-strategy?

Thanks,
