Ok. I'll consider implementing this, but I'll implement your other suggestion first.  This bug can be closed :)

Thanks!

Hi,

Is there a way to get a list of all overlays in a buffer, sorted by priority?
Currently only overlays-at seems to have a sorted parameter, and the sorting is done in C (so there seems to be no way on the list side to sort the results of overlays-in, except for reimplementing compare_overlays).

Thanks!
Clément
