Dear Org team,
I think I have found a bug related to the new agenda sorting strategies.
When I set:
(setq org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(deadline-up))
; or deadline-down, or timestamp-up/down, or scheduled-up/down, etc.
; the same problem occurs using the '((agenda deadline-up) ...) form
it results in the following error:
org-entries-lessp: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
and no entries are displayed in the agenda.
Some crude debugging on my part suggests that this error is triggered
when org-entries-lessp tries to compare the now line (i.e., the agenda
item generated from org-agenda-current-time-string) against another
item.
I think the problem is actually in org-cmp-ts: string-match doesn't like
getting nil as an argument. So maybe the problem is that the now line
doesn't have the text properties corresponding to deadlines, timestamps,
etc., such that get-text-property is returning nil?
Hope that's helpful! Please let me know if I can help with further
debugging.
Best,
Richard
