Here is a minimal test case:
(save-excursion
(outline-up-heading 1 'invisible-ok)
(org-sort-entries-or-items nil ?a))
What happens is that point stays on the parent headline.
What I expect is for save-excursion to save point no
differently from just saving point and doing goto-char.
Also:
When I change a todo state and then sort entries manually
using my sort function, everything works. But when I do so
from org-after-todo-state-change-hook, point gets placed on
the parent headline. Point gets changed right after the
save-excursion in org-todo (3rd paren from last).
Reproducible?
RMS in the reply to
http://www.archivum.info/bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org/2006-01/msg00053.html
seems to say that it is inevitable.
Is there a way for org to work around this?
If not, it is a warning to the wise.

I think it is in fact unavoidable when you delete and re-insert
text that contained a marker. Not impossible to fix, or does
in fact do if for clock history markers, but for the sorting routine
that would really be too much to ask.

OK, thanks. I won't expect s-e to work all the time.
The following does not work.
(add-hook 'org-after-todo-state-change-hook
'alpha-org-after-todo-state-change-hook)
(defun alpha-org-after-todo-state-change-hook ()
(let ((alpha-oatsch (point)))
(if (alpha-org-entry-is-todo-type :doneish)
(alpha-org-sort-siblings :very-coarse)
(hide-leaves))
(goto-char alpha-oatsch)))
Is this related?
(defadvice org-todo (around fix-point activate)
(let ((alpha-defadvice-org-todo (point)))
ad-do-it
(goto-char alpha-defadvice-org-todo)))
does work.
Thanks.
