Hi all,
I have been using org mode for the past month and on the whole it's great. But I
am having trouble searching tags and sorting TODO items. 

If this is the original file:

*PROJECTS
** TODO Take out garbage			:home:
Today is garbage + recycling 
** TODO Do the laundry				:home:
** DONE Pay car insurance			:bills:

Doing a 'C-c v'(to show only TODO items) also shows the DONE item, like this:

*PROJECTS
** TODO Take out garbage			:home:
** TODO Do the laundry				:home:
** DONE Pay car insurance			:bills:

If I move the DONE item to the top of the list, 'C-c v' correctly shows:

*PROJECTS
** TODO Take out garbage			:home:
** TODO Do the laundry				:home:

A similar phenomenon occurs when I search for the tag (C-c \) 'home'. When I
query the original file, the output includes the 'bills' tag like this:

*PROJECTS
** TODO Take out garbage			:home:
** TODO Do the laundry				:home:
** DONE Pay car insurance			:bills:

Similarly, if I move the headline tagged with 'bills' to the top, the search
outputs the right thing:
*PROJECTS
** TODO Take out garbage			:home:
** TODO Do the laundry				:home:

This is a toy example I made up, but it does the same thing on 'production' file
that I use daily. 

Any thoughts?

Thanks...
Deech

I found out i had the same problem (only tested for tags-sparse-tree).

org-tags-sparse-tree also matches the *next* headline, even if it is
not containing the specified tag.  For example, org-tags-sparse-tree
on the :tag1: tag would also match the *first* :tag2: headline:

* one headline :tag1:   <- displayed (correct)
* one headline :tag1:   <- displayed (correct)
* one headline :tag2:   <- displayed (wrong) 
* one headline :tag2:   <- not displayed (correct)

I tried to digg org-scan-tags further but got stuck at some point.

Hope this helps.

Hi Deech,

this is intentional, the headline following a headline that matches
the search is also shown, because it makes it easier to edit the 
headline
and the entry below it without accidentally changing hidden text.
If you are confident that you know outline-mode well enough,
customize the variable `org-show-following-heading'.  Get back to
us if you cannot figure out how to modify it correctly - it is
a relatively complex variable.

While you are at it: there are two more variables that give you very
fine-graned control over what exactly is displayed in sparse tree
and other commands that expose previously hidden parts of the
outline tree.

org-show-hierarchy-above
org-show-siblings

Hope this helps

- Carsten
