The reason why this does not work is that sorting by time
only works if the entry has been *selected* for inclusion into
the agenda by a timestamp.  If it was selected, for example, by tag,
the it would be unclear which time to use, there might be many
in the entry, like scheduled, deadline, or a plain time stamp
marking this also as an appointment.
