Right. Gotcha. planner-sort-tasks-key-function for your hacking
pleasure. planner-sort-tasks-by-link looks like a promising option. It
sorts by linked plan page, and was amazingly fun and easy to write.
It's almost identical in function to planner-sort-tasks-by-date, but
-date may be marginally faster on day pages because it doesn't do
regexes.

Err. The function names are a bit unfortunate, though, as now people
are going to wonder why these aren't interactive functions.
planner-sort-tasks-key-date? I'm not sure if that's very clear either.
Does anyone feel strongly about the function names?

Little hack forward, little hack forward...
