OK, thanks. I was starting to think it would come to that. Kind of surprising this isn't offered out of the box. I think I need a bit more guidance, from you or someone else. > parses out the date from the heading Is there already an org function to do this? C-h a searches on the following yielded nothing that seemed interesting. org.*date.* org.*timestamp.* > compares them I was about to make that more complicated, but actually string comparison should be fine for this. No worries there. I have done rather little with emacs-lisp so... this is uphill for me. Thanks.
