Re: [BUG] Agenda not sorting by priority THEN todo state (todo state ignored) [9.6.1 (9.6.1-??-fe92a3c @ /Users/polofsson/.emacs.d/.local/straight/build-28.2/org/)]

about 2 definitions of priority, and your urgent will likely help.  if
the docs referred to priority cookies, your argument is good.  i did
not think every reference did incl code.
