Let me try rephrasing

I'd like something like

(defun aas-show-todo ()
  (interactive)
  (grep  "-nH -r -i -e 'TODO: ' ~/git/src | sort -t : -k 2"))


then do
M-x aas-show-todo

and have it show me matching lines sorted appropriately in a grep buffer 
such that clicking on them takes me to the appropriate file/linenumber

The above code does not work, but hopefully makes my intention more clear

I looked at
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/progmodes/grep.el
Couldn't find anything to help.
