Re: [O] Bug: New keywords for org-agenda-sorting-strategy give "wrong type argument" error [8.0 (release_8.0-1-g5ef07d @ /home/rwl/src/org-mode/lisp/)]

Indeed, the following patch seems to fix the issue for me, though I
don't know enough about the code to know if this is
clean/elegant/general enough:

diff --git a/lisp/org-agenda.el b/lisp/org-agenda.el

     (cond ((< ta tb) -1)
          ((< tb ta) +1))))
