These issues were already solved, but thanks. #1 - I had a setq in my emacs that was overriding the customize setting. #2 - Misunderstanding: time-up is not date-and-time, it's only time of day.

In general, it's really hard to digg into an issue without such information, and time is short for everyone :/ Thanks for your understanding, -- Bastien

Question #1 has a stupid answer. I had forgotten to remove another setq for
org-agenda-custom commands later in my .emacs -- so this one is solved now.
Question #2 is open. Is there any way at all to change the sorting of a to-do
list?

Hi,
Any ideas on these?
Short versions of the questions:
1. Why does Emacs ignore 2 out of 3 agenda custom commands, which I defined
through the customize interface and appear in correct syntax in my ~/.emacs?
2. Why does (org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote (time-up))) have no effect in a
tags-todo search?
