Hi List,
sometimes it make more sense to append a new value to a
multivalued-property than putting it in front of the old values, so here
is a patch that enables this:

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Org: enable appending to multivalued property
* org.el (org-entry-add-to-multivalued-property): Add optional argument APPEND
to enable insertion of added value at the end of the multivalued property
list.
As an example, adding a new year to a property :copyright-years: should result
in something like '2012 2013' and not '2013 2012'.
