[Orgmode] Re: user-defined agenda sorting

[Samuel Wales]

If my skills at cargo-cult programming can summon the air force, then
(get-text-property 1 'priority a/b] will work.  But I'm not sure if
there are functions for parsing tags etc.  Testing seems difficult as
cut and paste of headline strings seems to not include properties.

Thanks.
