Sorting between section #12

Closed jfsigrist closed 4 years ago

jfsigrist commented 4 years ago

Hi, I'm not quite sure about the section usage (--) but while I separated the todo file in section the sorts commands mixes everything up.

Should the sort be limited to the current section, or maybe sort but only within each section?

The section divider is meant as a way to separate the file into two areas. The top area is for todo tasks as normal and everything below the separator (by default, a line with just -- on it) is ignored. So sorting and decorating should just occur on the lines above the separator. Like this:

A task Another task

Any text you want and it is ignored by the remaining commands.

Is this not happening? If you give me an example, I will look into it. I added this behavior simply because I like to collect notes in the same file. But you don't need to use the feature if it's not useful for you.
