log entries order question (feature request?)

log entries order question (feature request?)

[Maxim Loginov]

hi all

I prefer to log activity when doing something with project and set
(setq org-log-done '(state)) in my ~/.emacs.  Usually I change TODO
state several times during project completition and every change the
new log entry appeared on top, just after header.  It is more natural
to add them at the bottom, so you can read log more naturally, from
top (start) to bottom (finish).  Here is an example of typical project
after completion:

* DONE write a paper
    - State "DONE"       [2007-08-16 Thu 20:42] \\
      journal accepted the paper, will be published
      in october
    - State "WAITING"    [2007-08-16 Thu 20:41] \\
      boss sad "ok", sent paper to journal
    - State "WAITING"    [2007-08-16 Thu 20:37] \\
      first draft is ready, sent to boss, waiting
      for comments from him
    - State "NEXT"       [2007-08-16 Thu 20:36] \\
      ok, now I have time to start

but I'd prefer to have it like this:

* DONE write a paper
    - State "NEXT"       [2007-08-16 Thu 20:36] \\
      ok, now I have time to start
    - State "WAITING"    [2007-08-16 Thu 20:37] \\
      first draft is ready, sent to boss, waiting
      for comments from him
    - State "WAITING"    [2007-08-16 Thu 20:41] \\
      boss sad "ok", sent paper to journal
    - State "DONE"       [2007-08-16 Thu 20:42] \\
      journal accepted the paper, will be published
      in october

is there option for this? or is it possible to implement?

thanks
Maxim

Hi Maxim,

this will be the option `org-log-states-order-reversed' in the next
version, you need to set it to nil, default is t.
