Re: [O] Order of items after a headline in an Org outline?

Yes.  See https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html.

This is possible, I guess.

I recommend you follow the link above.  But to be explicit: the expected
order is:

HEADLINE
PLANNING
PROPERTYDRAWER

where PLANNING and PROPERTYDRAWER are optional each.

Timestamps may occur in the HEADLINE, in the PROPERTYDRAWER and below.

You may also consider to use M-x org-lint in you Org file to check these
requirements (and more.)


HTH,  Marco
