Does `:sort '(priority)` support numerical values?

Open nanjigen opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

I'm attempting to sort an org-ql-search by priority using numerical values instead of the default alpha system:

(org-ql-search (org-agenda-files)
   '(todo "TODO")
  :sort '(priority)
  :title "Todo List")

And at the top of the file I have #+PRIORITIES: 1 60 30

However the items are not sorted at all, and instead are listed in the order they appear in the buffer. Changing to alpha priorities seems to work however.

You can see the implementation here: https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql/blob/46f523d94a376b168176c75bbd0e3e0d00e61170/org-ql.el#L2218 The org-element :priority property is used, which comes from calling org-element-headline-parser. Maybe that function is not taking your manual priority values into account?

This is tracked in #140.
