Here's a quick function that works for me: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (defun my-org-agenda-change-sorting-strategy (strategy) "Change the sorting strategy." (interactive (list (completing-read "Choose a strategy: " (mapcar 'cdr (cdr org-sorting-choice)) nil t))) ;; adjust the following types as needed - e.g., add 'agenda, etc. (org-agenda-check-type t 'todo 'tags 'search) (let ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy (list (intern strategy)))) (org-agenda-redo))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Matt
