As others said, this should be view-based, because the order in one agenda can be different to the order in other agenda. Each agenda view has some identifier (e.g. the letter you use to open it: "a", "<a", "t", …). You could use this to store different orders (one for each possible agenda view): > ** TODO This task second > :PROPERTIES: > :Sorting: a10_t80_c1_mm10 > :END: Or a simpler solution: To me it would still be useful to be able to move things around in the agenda view, with M-up, M-down, even if the order is lost when I kill the agenda! That can help me decide a good task order which I can memorise or write down somewhere.
