Then write a > command to sort buffers in the order determined by that variable. I have tried using that function, but again, how do I get the last buffer? As when I put the function `rcd-last-async-buffer' into `buffer-list-update-hook' with: (add-hook 'buffer-list-update-hook 'rcd-last-async-buffer) then from the function, when I invoke `M-& ls RET': (defun rcd-last-async-buffer (&rest args) (let ((last-buffer (last-buffer)) (current-buffer (current-buffer))) (message "Last buffer: %s, current buffer: %s" last-buffer current-buffer))) I get this message: Last buffer: *Completions*, current buffer: *Messages* [2 times] and I was inspecting `&rest args' and did not get any variables sent. My expectations were different, for example, that the hook would give me the buffer name at least through a function invoked, or alternatively by sending it as argument. If I cannot find last buffer created by M-& then I would need to list buffers and again, how do I find the last one created if they are not created one after the other really... the next empty number will be filled with new async buffer.
