Here is the original post about the "deadline-up" sorting:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-09/msg00518.html

Simply eval this minimalistic custom command:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
(add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands
'("B" "Today"
tags-todo "DEADLINE<=\"\""
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Today")
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(deadline-up t)
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
and then use `C-c a B' on your own Org agenda files.
If you use the "followup mode", you'll see that entries are sorted by
category, instead of being sorted by deadline date...

That'd be pretty cool, indeed.

Also, the example in your previous email is quite complex. If something does not work in `org-agenda-sorting-strategy' can you make the example minimal, with no special config or skip functions? I'd like to fix any problem in this area before 8.2.3, which will go into Emacs 24.4. Thanks in advance, -- Bastien

Though, not speaking of fundamental differences (such as: you have to
write specific code to skip different types of entries), going the
"agenda" agenda view approach is not (yet) satisfying.
Let's consider the following ecm.org file:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
* List of tasks
** TODO Pay electricity bill (before 18/02)
DEADLINE: <2014-02-18 Tue -3d>
... but first wait for my pay of the first half of the month (15/02).
** TODO Renew newspaper subscription
DEADLINE: <2014-02-19 Wed>
** TODO Subscribe to new gym club
DEADLINE: <2014-03-01 Sat>
My goal is to begin in March.
** TODO Make dentist appointment
DEADLINE: <2014-04-01 Tue -60d>
Call the dentist much time in advance, because she's got a very long waiting
list.
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
The 26-line "agenda" agenda view:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
(add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands
`("x" "Future tasks (by due date) -- AGENDA VIEW"
((agenda ""
((org-agenda-overriding-header "This week")
(org-agenda-skip-function
'(my-skip-entry-unless-deadline-in-n-days-or-more
1))
(org-deadline-warning-days 7)))
(agenda ""
((org-agenda-format-date "")
(org-agenda-overriding-header "Following 3 weeks")
(org-agenda-skip-function
'(my-skip-entry-unless-deadline-in-n-days-or-more
7))
(org-deadline-warning-days 28
((org-agenda-clockreport-mode nil)
(org-agenda-format-date "")
(org-agenda-span 'day)
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(deadline-up))
(org-agenda-use-time-grid nil))) t)
(defun my-skip-entry-unless-deadline-in-n-days-or-more (n)
"Skip entries that have no deadline, or that have a deadline earlier than
in N days."
(let* ((dl (org-entry-get nil "DEADLINE")))
(if (or (not dl)
(equal dl "")
(org-time< dl (+ (org-time-today) (* n 86400
(progn (outline-next-heading) (point)
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
displays:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
This week:
In 6 d TODO Renew newspaper subscription
In 47 d TODO Make dentist appointment
Following 3 weeks:
In 16 d TODO Subscribe to new gym club
In 47 d TODO Make dentist appointment
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
This is wrong for 2 tasks:
- "Make dentist appointment" (with a -60d "warning" specifier) appears in both
"this week" and "following 3 weeks" lists, while it shouldn't appear at all,
as its deadline doesn't fall within the search ranges.
- "Pay electricity bill" (with a -3d "warning" specifier) doesn't appear in
"this week" list, while it should.
The 8-line "tags" agenda view:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
(add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands
`("x" "Future tasks (by due date) -- TODO-TAGS VIEW"
((tags-todo "DEADLINE>\"<+0d>\"+DEADLINE<=\"<+7d>\""
((org-agenda-overriding-header "This week")))
(tags-todo "DEADLINE>\"<+7d>\"+DEADLINE<=\"<+28d>\""
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Following 3
weeks"
((org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if
'notdeadline))
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(deadline-up t)
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
does output the right tasks:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
This week:
ecm: TODO Pay electricity bill (before 18/02)
ecm: TODO Renew newspaper subscription
Following 3 weeks:
ecm: TODO Subscribe to new gym club
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Anybody having a hint on this?

[O] [BUG] `org-agenda-sorting-strategy' does not work in `tags-todo'
Hello,
The following agenda view is supposed to display the tasks by ascending
_DEADLINE timestamp_.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands
'("B" "Today"
tags-todo "DEADLINE<=\"\""
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Today")

#+end_src
However, as you can see with the following ECM:
#+begin_src org
* Health
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: Health
:END:
** TODO 3Do jogging

it sorts the list by _category_, instead!

The same sorting criteria, applied on an `agenda' view, does work.
