Hello,
I'm trying to sort my buffers by major-mode with ibuffer, but it seems
like it doesn't work.
I started Emacs with '-q' and then evaluated the following two lines:
(require 'ibuffer)
(setq-default ibuffer-default-sorting-mode 'major-mode)
When I do M-x ibuffer my buffers are sort by 'recency' (the default),
but the mode-line tells me 'Ibuffer by major-mode'. When I evalute
ibuffer-default-sorting-mode it's 'major-mode' as it should be. If I
cycle the sorting mode with ',' the sorting works fine thereafter. Am
I missing something?
By the way, what's the difference between 'major-mode' and 'mode-
name'? 'mode-name' isn't mentioned in the documentation, but if I
cycle through sorting modes with ',' I see it on the mode-line.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Peter.

Sorry, I forget to mention that I'm using CVS Emacs, updated today.
If I (setq ibuffer-default-sorting-mode 'major-mode) instead of (setq-
default ibuffer-default-sorting-mode 'major-mode) it doesn't work
either.
Regards,
Peter.

`C-h v' tells all. Basically, major-mode's value is a symbol whose
function binding defines a major mode. mode-line's value is a string
for display.

Could you show us an example?
In a recently started Emacs, with several buffers loaded through
desktop.el, doing
M-: (setq-default ibuffer-default-sorting-mode 'major-mode) <RET>
M-x ibuffer <RET>
produces:

which is correctly sorted by major-mode

Hello,
I know what mode-line is. I meant the symbol 'mode-name, which is a
sorting mode in ibuffer.el.

You're right.
What's happening is that, in fact, ibuffer is not sorting at all,
because there's a variable ibuffer-sorting-functions-alist that is
null at that point. That variable is initialized by code in
ibuf-ext.el; defaulting to 'recency works because that sorting order
is special-cased in ibuffer.el.
You can workaround the issue by making sure ibuf-ext is loaded, for example:
emacs -q -l ibuf-ext .emacs .ssh/config .Emacs-lisp/init-lisp.el
but I think ibuffer should take care that the sorting functions' alist
is properly stuffed.
John, I've considered the attached patch, which checks in
ibuffer-sort-bufferlist. The alternative I see is to require 'ibuf-ext
in `ibuffer-mode' if the user modified `ibuffer-default-sorting-mode',
like
(set (make-local-variable 'ibuffer-sorting-mode)
ibuffer-default-sorting-mode)
(unless (eq ibuffer-sorting-mode 'recency)
(require 'ibuf-ext))
Are you OK with one of these changes?
