Re: [Orgmode] Useful utility function: org-sort-multi
On Aug 29, 2009, at 3:38 AM, Ryan C. Thompson wrote: I found myself having to sort by multiple criteria, and I was doing it with multiple calls to org-sort-entries-or-items. Then I decided to abstract the repetition into a function. Here it is: (defun org-sort-multi (rest sort-types) Sort successively by a list of criteria, in descending order of importance. For example, sort first by TODO status, then by priority, then by date, then alphabetically, case-sensitive. Each criterion is either a character or a cons pair (BOOL . CHAR), where BOOL is whether or not to sort case-sensitively, and CHAR is one of the characters defined in ``org-sort-entries-or-items''. So, the example above could be accomplished with: (org-sort-multi ?o ?p ?t (t . ?a)) (interactive) (mapc #'(lambda (sort-type) (when (characterp sort-type) (setq sort-type (cons nil sort-type))) (org-sort-entries-or-items (car sort-type) (cdr sort- type))) (reverse sort-types))) Note the call to reverse. This makes it so that the first criterion you provide is the dominant criterion. Try it out to see how it works, and let me know if there's a better way to pass the arguments. Just as an example, the particular sorting function I wanted to write now becomes this: (defun org-sort-custom () Sort children of node by todo status and by priority and by date, so the * TODO [#A] items with latest dates go to the top. (interactive) (org-sort-multi ?o ?p ?T)) Hi Ryan, this looks interesting, but I am not sure I understand how it works. It looks to me that each sorting step will completely re-sort the entire list of items, so the final sorting will win in the end.

[Orgmode] Setting timestamp format to English

I have a french version of windows so when I set a timestamp on an item with C-c , I get the timestamp in french. I'd like to get it in english. I've tried setting the language environment to english through the menu (options/mule/set language environment) but it makes no difference. In a previous mail of this mailing list ( http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg03064.html), it is mentioned that this depends on the variable system-time-locale. How can I set system-time-locale to english permanently in my emacs init file?

A few points:
- The lab be closed on both Sundays of the Thanksgiving Break (before
and after). Hence, I've not put any OH there.
- Both of you will need to get the key to room. Obtain one.
- This schedule assumes that there will be a session every week. Perhaps
stuff like exams will get in the way. It will be updated as needed.

So the results of earlier sorts are preserved as much as possible in later sorts. Of course, this is really inefficient, but oh well. As another test case, try using (org-sort-multi ?o ?p) on this: * Multi-sort test ** DONE [#B] ** TODO [#C] ** STARTED [#C] ** STARTED [#A] ** DONE [#C] ** TODO [#B] ** TODO [#A] ** STARTED [#B] ** DONE [#A] Anyway, Carsten, if you think this would be useful, feel free to include some variant of this in org-mode itself. You'd probably want to implement it as a one-pass sort in which the set of sorting criteria function as a series of fallbacks for tiebreakers, rather than a series of sorts.

I do in fact have org-macs in my 'orglib' directories so I tried loading them explicitly (with multiple --load specifications), but it still doesn't work (Still Cannot open load file pointing to some org file or subst-ksc, depending on how many or in what order org .el files are loaded). Any more ideas? The problem is probably that --batch implies -q, so .emacs is *not* loaded and you don't get your load-path customizations. Maybe something like this will work (the quoting gets hairy, so pay close attention to all the details): --8---cut here---start-8--- #! /bin/bash orglib=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org emacs --batch \ --eval (add-to-list 'load-path \$orglib\) --load=$orglib/org.elc \ --eval (setq org-export-headline-levels 2) \ --visit=$1 --funcall org-export-as-latex-batch --8---cut here---end---8--- HTH, Nick ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] export (as latex) a large number of org files in a directory
Thanks yet again! That makes sense... works now!! I tried your code with both orglib=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org and orglib=$HOME/elisp/org-mode/lisp You need the former - the latter is where I keep my org.el[c] (sorry, forgot to mention that I created and copied my files to the latter directory to try it out) #! /bin/bash orglib=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org emacs --batch \ --eval (add-to-list 'load-path \$orglib\) \ # need a backslash here. --load=$orglib/org.elc \ --eval (setq org-export-headline-levels 2) \ --visit=$1 --funcall org-export-as-latex-batch (yes, caught that!) Thanks again very much, Nick - this had been on my mind for a while. Stephen ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
