Improve order of the todo agenda

[lyz-code]

As with all my PRs, I'm really a noob at Lua trying to do my best. I'd appreciate any suggestions to improve the code.

Until it's merged users can use my fork

If you like the implementation I can add the documentation of the new configuration option

Is this how Emacs does the sorting, or just something that you think would be good to add? IIRC sort is not changed when clocking in/out.

I've never used Emacs so it's my personal opinion :S , I can also add options to configure the non default behaviours if you want

Thanks @lyz-code for the effort. I like the attempt to provide a better agenda sorting then the current one. Because this implementation is the personal flavor of @lyz-code, my question to you, @kristijanhusak would be: Would you be open that we provide an option, where the user can define a closure, which does the sorting? Than we provide a default implementation, which mirrors the Emacs behavior and a couple of helper functions accessible from the options, so the user can easily implement their own sorting flavor?

@seflue since I plan to add custom agenda commands in the following months, for now I'm thinking to attach the sorting function to the AgendaView class, and let the power users monkey patch it. With the custom agenda commands, there will be a way to do this as part of the configuration. Would that work @lyz-code ?

@kristijanhusak Would you also do that with the sort_agenda_items function in AgendaView which is currently just a local function? I would be really happy to make the agenda view a bit more custamizable, even if this means to write some code. The current behavior is most often too noisy and it is hard to let the important things stand out without losing track of the rest.

Can you elaborate a bit more on your plan of custom agenda commands? I have some requirements to the agenda which made me already thinking of writing my own agenda plugin - but I didn't find the time yet to seriously design something decent. But I would be happy to give feedback on what you have in mind.
