In capture, ‘%\N’ provides back-references to the value entered in response
to the Nth prompt of the form ‘%^{PROMPT}’. But from what I can see, when
figuring out which prompt is the Nth, capture does not consider *property*
prompts; i.e. those of the form ‘%^{PROP}p’.
So is there anything

Actually it looks like you can have org-reverse-note-order be a wee
bit selective using a regexp. Customize implies it's only on a per

Non-nil means store new notes at the beginning of a file or entry.

Question for Bernt, but maybe more widely useful.
Bernt, in some of your org-capture-templates, you often include a %U
timestamp as well as clocking in the item in question. for example:

I have a clock table in my agendas -- I got it there by setting
org-agenda-start-with-clockreport-mode. I'm trying to control its
format. I've tried using org-clock-clocktable-default-properties but
that seems to have no effect. For example, this from my
custom-set-variables:
... it depends on how often you require this weekly report...
Ermm, weekly :-)
It should be possible to write code that walks your agenda, visits the
tasks, and copies and pastes the details to a temporary org buffer/file
just for your chronological report.
Absolutely. But as I've been
I haven't tried this myself, just looking at the manual. But playing

Probably, :indent was perceived by the code as nil, but at least
it did not swallow the :tags key.
It wasn't. I hadn't realized about the need for a value to the
property, but if it's omitted then it looks like :indent's value is
perceived as true, not nil (which is why I got on so long not

Thanks. That's pretty much exactly my workaround now. So
OK, that might be what I need then. I thought clock tables grouped
things by headings, not by tags. I'll have a look at the manual.

I just figured out why, despite having a setq in my .emacs, my

It's because if you modify that variable using C-c [ or C-c ], then any

Bernt,
Still digging into this. You said:
TAGS are much more flexible for controlling what you see on
the agenda and I use tags for filtering what is displayed on the agenda.
Am I right though that from the point of view of clocking tasks, you
rely not on TAGS but on having each task live
, or accounting, research,
and so on), and then you use TAGs in addition to orthogonally categorize
things according to some aspect of your workflow (it's a phone call, it
has GTD context @wibble, it needs refiled, and so on). Is that remotely
accurate?
thanks,
Tommy
