A cross-reference to that under "PRIORITY" would be helpful. Also: It says "priority" not "PRIORITY" (upper-case) so my man page search didn't find it. (Searching in "less" for upper-case does not include lower-case.) The -g description also uses "priority" not "PRIORITY'; searching for "PRIORITY" didn't find it. Wherever you use only lower-case "priority" in the man page, please change it to upper-case or have an upper-case PRIORITY nearby so searches can find it. > My original thought was that timed reminders should come first > to group together things you have to do at a certain time, followed > by "all-day" reminders that are less likely to require action. Very reasonable; please put this information into the man page so we know. > The -g option to remind lets you change the sort order of individual > fields, but doesn't let you change the order in which the fields > are considered. I can look at making it more flexible for a future release. Yes, please. I suppose my only work-around is that I have to make *all* my reminders into timed reminders so that they sort the way I want. I see that -b controls the presence of a leading time field in the calendar output, but I don't see a corresponding control for a leading time field in the text output. It appears I have to explicitly include the time in the message text of the reminder if I want the time to appear in my email each morning; I don't see a corresponding option to automatically enable times. Since I don't want the time to appear twice in the calendar I have to hide the second one outside %": REM 2015-05-25@10:30 MSG [trigtime()] %"Meeting%" %b% It would be nicer if there were some option similar to -b that controlled how the time could be output preceding the text output lines, so I could write just this uncluttered message text and let remind do all the time work for both calendars and text: REM 2015-05-25@10:30 MSG %"Meeting%" %b% To be more general, it would be nice if remind had a way of having msgprefix() process "[trigtime()]" through the substitution filter so that I could specify any arbitrary expression to appear in front of my reminders (and use calprefix() to do the same for the calendar). -- | Ian!
