[Orgmode] is there a save-visibility?

[Samuel Wales]

I want to sort upon todo state change.  However, sort
changes visibility.  I could use the new after sort hook to
create a desired visibility, but I'd like it to be the same
as before the todo state change.

Is there a save-visibility analogous to save-excursion?

Thanks.
