Package: org-mode
Version: 7.01g-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

first let me thank you for org-mode.  It is a very valuable piece of
software for me.

We have the <2012-12-23 Sun>.  I have in my TODO.org file the entries

***** TODO reference entry
      SCHEDULED: <2012-12-22 Sat>
***** TODO test entry +
      SCHEDULED: <2012-12-19 Wed +2d>
***** TODO test entry ++
      SCHEDULED: <2012-12-19 Wed ++2d>
***** TODO test entry .+
      SCHEDULED: <2012-12-19 Wed .+2d>

When I type 'Ctrl-c a a' the agenda view gets created (with the
default sorting settings) as follows:

  TODO:       Sched. 2x:  TODO reference entry
  TODO:       Scheduled:  TODO test entry +
  TODO:       Scheduled:  TODO test entry ++
  TODO:       Scheduled:  TODO test entry .+

This is not the result I expect.  The test entries are scheduled 3
days more in the past than the reference entry.  Thus, I would expect
them to come first with 'Sched. 5x:' in front.  I understand that due
to the repeats, the test entries virtually appear also on the 21st and
23rd, and that's why it is sorted that way.  The sorting takes the
last virtual appearance rather than the one real appearance.  But that
means, that entries that I should work on every second day never makes
it to the top of the priority list, which renders the priority list in
the agenda view useless, I think.  When I work on one of the test
entries and cycle through TODO-DONE-TODO, the SCHEDULED date is
automatically incremented and only then should the entry appear later
in the list.  This is the most reasonable behavior, I think.  However,
since there seem different oppinions on that issue possible, it would
be great to have at least an option that would allow to pick the one
or the other behavior.

Best regards,

Josef.
