Hmm, I might be missing something obvious, but here’s the best I can come up with. First, specify that you want the tag search to sort based on timestamp, earliest first: (add-to-list 'org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(tags timestamp-up)) Then make a custom function that when called on a heading returns the first timestamp: (defun my/org-get-first-timestamp () (save-excursion (or (and (re-search-forward org-ts-regexp (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point)) t) (match-string 1)) ""))) (Org might already have a function that would do that, but that seems to work.) Now use that function in the agenda prefix for tag searches: (add-to-list 'org-agenda-prefix-format '(tags . "%-21(my/org-get-first-timestamp) ")) With the example you gave---but changing 2018-11-1 to 2018-11-01 to make a valid timestamp---‘C-c a m client1’ gives me: Headlines with TAGS match: client1 Press ‘C-u r’ to search again 2018-10-28 Tuedescription of deadline :client1: 2018-11-01 Thu 10:00 a meeting :client1: -- Kyle
[O] agenda view help - viewing all time entries for a tag
Say I have a calendar file which is in the following format: * description of deadline:client1: DEADLINE: <2018-10-28 Tue> * a meeting :client1: <2018-11-1 Thu 10:00> I would like to be able to view all headlines and time entries associated with a particular tag, and to have that information visible in an agenda buffer, and for the entries to appear in chronological order along with the associated dates If I do C-c a m [tag], the dates do not appear Seems the best I can do to get dates associated with the headline and appear in chronological order is C-c a a, then filter by tag, then M-x org-agenda-year-view. This is ugly and slow. Say I filter for :client1: and put into year view, it looks something like: Tuesday 30 October 2018 Deadline: description of deadline :client1: Wednesday 31 October 2018 *[unnecessary date with no entry -- why is this here?]* Thursday 1 November 2018 10:00... a meeting :client1: Is there something obvious I am missing? I just want something like the above command, but without all of the dates shown that fall between time entries. This way I can get a view of all deadlines associated with a client, where those deadlines may exist months or even a year+ in advance (i.e., I don't want to be limited to a year view). Hope this makes sense. I am an orgmode newb. Was very excited at first but the learning curve is really starting to hit me lately. It seems like this should be relatively easy to accomplish.
