org-sort expands all subtrees and drawers

Question

When I use org-sort (Ctrl-^) all the to be sorted subtrees are expanded including their properties. I kind of loose orientation. I have to collapse them manually again or use overview (Shift-Tab) and expand manually from there.

• Is this a standard behavior?
  I tried a fresh emacs install on a new machine and this behaves the same. So I asume the anser here is "yes".
• Can I change this behavior somehow? The focus on a subtree should not change when sorting or archiving.

Answer 1

I have not found a way to disable that behaviour, but I found a way to not loose orientation while sorting.

I modified this answer and added a hook to run after every sorting of headings. This basically automates the folding I had to do manually every time after sorting.

(defun ess/org-show-just-me (&rest _)
"Fold all other trees, then show direct children of current org-heading."
  (interactive)
  (org-overview)
  (org-reveal)
  (org-show-children))

(add-hook 'org-after-sorting-entries-or-items-hook 'ess/org-show-just-me)

I don't understand the code fully ( eg. &rest_), but for now it works.
