Hi great work thanks!
this https://github.com/james-stoup/emacs-org-mode-tutorial?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration-1---work-log describes what I am trying to achive using the plugin? Is it possible?

This is now added. You can define it like this:

  org_capture_templates = {
    j = {
      description = 'Log entry',
      template = '* %?',
      target = '~/org/work-log.org',
      datetree = true,
      -- Or if you want to pick a date
      datetree = { time_prompt = true }
    },
  },

Many thanks it works very nice. Two small questions (no idea if org-mode supports that or not), would it possible the org file to be reversed? Like the newest day always on top and the oldest on the bottom? Also is is it possible to have week number? Thanks

[kristijanhusak]

Orgmode doesn't support that out of the box, there is package to do that (https://github.com/akirak/org-reverse-datetree). I'll see if we can extend the functionality here to support the reversed datetree and providing custom formatting for each level. I'll keep you posted.

[kristijanhusak]

@karampok Support for reversed datetree was added. Just pass reversed flag to the datetree opts:

  org_capture_templates = {
    j = {
      description = 'Log entry',
      template = '* %?',
      target = '~/org/work-log.org',
      datetree = { reversed = true }
    },
  },

I'll be adding support for custom date formats next.

Support for different date trees was added in #693.

You can select presets like day, month and week, or create a custom one. Documentation is here #693
