How do you generate that view?
Doesn't your agenda view already show the day of the week? With the
recommended keybinding, I get a daily agenda with C-c a a d.
Mine starts like this:
,
| Day-agenda (W20):
| Tuesday14 May 2019
|8:00..
| appts: 10:00-11:30 Tools Meeting
| 10:00..
| 12:00..
| 14:00..
| 16:00..
| 18:00..
| 20:00..
| work: Sched.Xx: TODO Review PR
| work: Sched.2x: TODO Add issue
| Weather:OpenWeatherMap: light rain, 3-8°C, 1010hpa, 90%, 3m/s
`
so it definitely shows the weekday, but perhaps you are doing something
different?

Make sure you have files contributing to org-agenda-files otherwise your
agenda view will be empty.

That helps immensely, evidently I have some reading to do, so I understand
more of how to change the agenda view around.
And yes please, could/would you check your config and see if anything special
is done?
Thanks very much!

Not sure what you mean by "sub-groups". And I'm pretty sure I don't do
anything special to get this. The grid is the standard grid - I
believe that comes "free" with the default settings of
org-agenda-time-grid and org-agenda-use-time-grid.
The appts:, work: and Weather: thingies are "categories" - the first
two come from the name of the agenda file where the item originated:
I have a work.org file for work items and an appts.org file which contains just
reminders. It actually contains a bit more: there are top-level headlines
for Anniversaries, Weather and Appointments like this:
,
| * Anniversaries
|:PROPERTIES:
|:CATEGORY: Anniv
|:ID: 409062f6-6cb1-467f-b192-2dfcb7b384ca
|:END:
| %%(org-bbdb-anniversaries)
|
| * Weather
| :PROPERTIES:
| :CATEGORY: Weather
| :END:
| %%(org-weather)
|
| * Appointments
| ** APPT Doctor appt
|
`
Items in the Appoinments section don't have a defined Category
so they are labeled with the fill name ("appts"). Anniversaries
and Weather items have a CATEGORY property so they are labeled
by the explicit category.
I don't remember whether I do anything special to sort the items
(e.g. why the Weather item is always last). If you are interested
in that, I can dig a little more into my configuration.
Does that answer your question?

Hey there, thank you very much, that is now perfect: I use (setq org-agenda-format-date ;; (1) "%Y-%m-%d %A ") ;; (1) (the (1) in brackets gives me an indication of where I got the initial code from) and it gives me 2019-05-15 Mittwoch all I want :) Cheers and have a good week J Richard Lawrence writes: > Hi Johanna, > > "Prof. Dr. Johanna May" writes: > >> thanks for pointing me at the variable org-agenda-format-date.
