Hi David, David Masterson writes: > Is there a documented requirement of the order of things in a Org > outline? My understanding is that a lot of work in recent years has gone into making Org's syntax more consistent, and this is an ongoing effort. So, sometimes things still work if they're not in the proper order, but I wouldn't count on them remaining so. Your best bet is just to use Org's functions for inserting and modifying these things, e.g., org-schedule to schedule something. You might find this helpful: https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html > For instance, do these things have to come directly after the > headline and, if so, in what order? Will Org get confused otherwise? The correct order is: > * SCHEDULED and DEADLINE > * PROPERTY drawer and then notes. (Timestamps can occur anywhere within notes.) e.g.: * Sample Headline DEADLINE: <2019-02-11 Mon> SCHEDULED: <2019-02-10 Sun> :PROPERTIES: :FOO: bar :END: Here I am typing some notes, late in the evening on [2019-02-09 Sat] Hope that helps! -- Best, Richard

This is possible, I guess. I recommend you follow the link above. But to be explicit: the expected order is: HEADLINE PLANNING PROPERTYDRAWER where PLANNING and PROPERTYDRAWER are optional each. Timestamps may occur in the HEADLINE, in the PROPERTYDRAWER and below. You may also consider to use M-x org-lint in you Org file to check these requirements (and more.) HTH, Marco
[O] Order of items after a headline in an Org outline?
Is there a documented requirement of the order of things in a Org outline? For instance, do these things have to come directly after the headline and, if so, in what order? Will Org get confused otherwise? * PROPERTY drawer * Timestamp * SCHEDULED and DEADLINE * Notes -- David
