[emacs-wiki-discuss] GTD and alphabetical sort

[John D. DeCuir]

Hi,

Kai von Fintel posted a request a while back to sort the tasks by
their description, so that one could append a context (e.g.  "@home:
do dishes") to more fully implement GTD.

Turns out, this is easy!  Just make a copy of the function
planner-sort-tasks-by-link in planner.el, rename it
planner-sort-tasks-by-description, and replace the last function call
in that function "planner-task-link" to "planner-task-description".

Of course, edit your .emacs to reflect the new sorting order:

(setq planner-sort-tasks-key-function 'planner-sort-tasks-by-description)

I hope this method of doing things is appropriate ... Thanks to
everyone for making the infrastructure for this possible!
