^^<----- this is the clue...
You have no delta on your reminders. The first one triggers only
on Dec 1. The second triggers only on Dec 2. Because of the '*2',
Remind is run twice: Once with today() set to Dec 1 and a second time
with today() set to Dec 2. So sortbanner's output is 100% correct.
Each reminder really is triggered "today".
Two ways to fix it: (1), compare against realtoday() instead of
today(), or (2) add a delta to your reminders:
# --- /tmp/x.rem ---
FSET sortbanner(x) iif(x == today(),\
"*** TODAY: " + x + " ***",\
"--- %b: " + x + " ---")
REM Dec 1 +3 MSG first
REM Dec 2 +3 MSG second
$ remind -gaada -q /tmp/x.rem
Reminders for Monday, 1st December, 2025 (today):
*** TODAY: 2025-12-01 ***
first
--- tomorrow: 2025-12-02 ---
second
