I have a mgtdlist set up with one that shows starred and the other
that shows only unstarred. So, if I star an item, it goes to the top
list, unstar to the bottom list. The practical result is that starred
items are on top. In my own custom dashboard:
<<mgtdList title:'Next Actions by Context' startTag:Action tags:'Next
&& !Done && Starred' view:ActionProj mode:global
group:Context
gView:Context
newButtonTags:'Action Next'
where:tiddler.hasActiveProject()
>>
<<mgtdList startTag:Action tags:'Next && !Done && !Starred'
view:ActionProj mode:global
group:Context
gView:Context
where:tiddler.hasActiveProject()
newButtonTags:'Action Next'
dontShowEmpty:yes
>>
If the extra spacing bothers you, you can use CSS to help out a bit.
