[Orgmode] Custom agenda views: todo-state-down

[Christopher Suckling]

I'm having a little difficulty with org-agenda-sorting-strategy:

If I create a tags or tags-todo view, then todo-state-down (or todo- 
state-up) appears to be ignored. For example:

-----
("P" "Priority #A tasks " tags-todo "+PRIORITY=\"A\""
         ((org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-done t)
	  (org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(todo-state-down effort-up category- 
keep))
          (org-agenda-overriding-header "Priority #A tasks: ")))
-----

fails to sort by todo-state.

On the other hand:

-----
        ("Qt" "TODO entries - @mac " alltodo ""
         ((org-agenda-files (list "~/Sites/org/mac_A.org"))
	  (org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down todo-state-down  
category-keep))
          (org-agenda-overriding-header "TODO entries - @mac: ")))
-----

sorts as expected.

Interestingly, if the second example is included as part of a block  
agenda, then it also fails.

Any suggestions?

Best wishes,

Christopher
