Hm, these would sort lines of the buffer after the agenda is created (is there a hook in org to do so?), but the idea is to tell org how to sort before putting the stuff in the agenda buffer. I'm looking for a function that will do this -- given: ** DONE PUSH onFailure arg for waitForBoot <2012-01-31 Tue> and the regexp "<[^>]+>" -- return <2012-01-31 Tue>. I can find emacs lisp functions for regexp search within a buffer (nope), but the point is not to look in a buffer. It's to pass in the source string. Did several google searches, and couldn't find the magic words (search terms).
