org/elisp – sorting list of org-links on description
A small utility function that I used to sort the names of people who commented on my blog.
(defun org-get-link-desc-from-list () """ Get link description of a list item containing just links """ (let* ((item-beg (point)) (item-end (org-end-of-item)) (cur-item (buffer-substring-no-properties item-beg item-end))) (goto-char item-beg) (org-columns-compact-links cur-item)))
sort-lines
wasn’t good enough for me, since it was sorting alphabetically and it ended up being the sorted order of the urls and not the names. This function, when used with org-sort-entries-or-items
gave me what I wanted.
Thanks to benny (on #org-mode), I also learnt the difference between let
and let*
.
