List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: emacs-orgmode-bounces+geo-emacs-orgmode=m.gmane.org@gnu.org Sender: "Emacs-orgmode" To: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org So I have a lot of cases where there is a :PROPERTIES: drawer. It contains, crucially, an ID (I use those for linking). When I close a task with C-c C-t and pick DONE, or when I schedule it with C-c C-s, it will insert CLOSED: or SCHEDULED: lines ABOVE the :PROPERTIES: line. Unfortunately, org-mode only recognizes the PROPERTIES when they occur immediately after the headline. So whenever I take an action on an item like this, the properties become invisible to org-mode. I can always restore it by reordering the text. How do I address this? Thanks, John
