 Just in case I confused someone. Here was the code that worked originally. ( I
made a typo )

   (setq org-remember-templates
   '(("Task" ?t "* %^{Task status|TODO|STARTED|SUBTASK} %^{Brief
 Description} %^G\n %^{subject}p  %^{other-subjects}p
 %^{sub-subjects}p  %^{keywords}p %?\nCalled from: %a\nAdded: %U"
 "~/notes/notes-log-090410.org"))

[Orgmode] SOLVED: Changing todo status to waiting before clocked out.

[dericbytes]

Bernt, thanks for your email. It helped solve the problem... I thought
my reply would not get routed to the mailing list. He is my problem
and solution, for all to see

I used Sacha's code to automatically clock in and out when the TODO state
swapped between STARTED and WAITING.

I then added code to note if my remember template had the TODO state of
STARTED.  If so, I set it up to clock in that task on insertion (automatically
clocking out my old task)

My problem was the old task still had the STARTED state.





;; org-mode automatic clocking on TODO
;; --
(defun sacha/org-clock-in-if-starting ()
  "Clock in when the task is marked STARTED."
  (when (and (string= state "STARTED")
 (not (string= last-state state)))
(org-clock-in)))

(add-hook 'org-after-todo-state-change-hook
  'sacha/org-clock-in-if-starting)

(defadvice org-clock-in (after sacha activate)
  "Set this task's status to 'STARTED'."
  (org-todo "STARTED"))

(defun sacha/org-clock-out-if-waiting ()
  "Clock in when the task is marked STARTED."
  (when (and (string= state "WAITING")
 (not (string= last-state state)))
(org-clock-out)))

(add-hook 'org-after-todo-state-change-hook
  'sacha/org-clock-out-if-waiting)







;; start the clock if there is a STARTED todo tag in template
;
(add-hook 'org-remember-before-finalize-hook 'my-start-clock-if-needed)
(defun my-start-clock-if-needed ()

 (save-excursion
 (goto-char (point-min))
(when (re-search-forward "* STARTED" nil t)
 (change-todo-state-on-old-clock)
 (org-clock-in





; change the state of the old clock
;---
(defun change-todo-state-on-old-clock ()
; old-clock needs state changed if STARTED
(save-excursion
(progn
(if (not (marker-buffer org-clock-marker))
(if select
(error "No task selected")
  (error "No active clock")))
(set-buffer (marker-buffer org-clock-marker))
(goto-char (point-min))
(when  (re-search-forward "^\** STARTED" nil t)
(org-todo "WAITING")






; example template
;
 (setq org-remember-templates
  '(("Task" ?t "* %^{Task status|TODO|STARTED|SUBTASK|DONE} %^{Brief
Description} %^G\n %^{subject}p  %^{other-subjects}p  %^{sub-subjects}p 
%^{keywords}p %?\nAdded: %U \n" "~/notes/notes-log-090410.org" "Task")

[Orgmode] fixed error in my code

[dericbytes]

- changed regex
- it now works if there is no clock running

(defun change-todo-state-on-old-clock ()
; old-clock needs state changed if STARTED
(save-excursion
(progn
(when (marker-buffer org-clock-marker)
(set-buffer (marker-buffer org-clock-marker))
(goto-char (point-min))
(when  (re-search-forward "^\*+ STARTED" nil t)
(org-todo "WAITING"))

Thanks  I had to look up what the headline field was. Also didn't know
whether to use "top", 'top, or top.  So here's my working template to save
some people time.


  (setq org-remember-templates
  '(("Task" ?t "* %^{Task status|TODO|STARTED|SUBTASK|DONE} %^{Brief
Description} %^G\n %^{subject}p  %^{other-subjects}p  %^{sub-subjects}p 
%^{keywords}p %?\nAdded: %U \n" "~/notes/now.org" top))

[Orgmode] headline entries order.

[dericbytes]

I want to reverse the entries of my logs. So the newest is at the top. I know
there is the C-c ^ sort function, but I'm not sure if any are applicable. (Not
all of my entries are dated)

[Orgmode] I wrote code to reverse top-level entries order within region

Here's a link to the code I wrote to reverse top-level entries on region.

NOTE: its my first attempt at elisp, any tips for improving future code welcome.
