There's a lot here that I really like - keep going!

I wanted to pick up on 11.a. I've recently put together a dashboard for 
integrating Final Version (FV) into mGSD for choosing which tasks to do.

Before I get to the code, a bit of background: I use mGSD as my main inbox 
as well (which goes against the design philosophy). That is, I use the 
QuickAdd to add any action, project, email, thought to the system. This 
then shows up in a list of actions without contexts, that I work through 
and make the relevant type of tiddler and give appropriate tags to (such as 
context). Only once an action has a context does it appear on my to do 
lists. This is important because this is a little different to FV, where 
projects are added to the main 'to do' list, and just readded if they 
aren't finished. I wanted to avoid this because part of the power of mGSD 
is having the rest of the project stored relationally without appearing on 
the actual list of things to currently do.

Thus, this FV dashboard takes actions that are 'in the system' - they are 
an actual action and have a context assigned. These actions are arranged as 
the current list, ordered by last modified date. Then, using the FV 
algorithm (which can be seen here: 
http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs004/1100358239599/archive/1109511856508.html),
 
I go down and 'dot' the actions I want to make a chain using the starred 
feature. These starred items then show up on the 'current chain' list in 
reverse viewed order (ie things at the bottom of the full list are at the 
top of the chain). Then I work through the chain, marking complete the ones 
I complete, and viewing the ones I don't so that they move to the bottom of 
the full list.

The one change I would like to make but don't know how is to make the lists 
ordered by last viewed date (ie when the tiddler was last opened), but 
sort: viewed doesn't work. Anyone know the answer to this one?

You may also notice that unlike FV, I've added ticklers above the full 
list, and at the bottom of the chain. This is because I think ticklers are 
worthwhile as they keep action in the system, but out of sight until they 
are needed (ie not having to constantly 'move' something on the main list 
because it can't be done until a certain day). These then really form the 
start of the full list to make sure they get done on the day they ping.

Here is the actual code for the FV dashboard. Let me know what you think.

* {{cols2{
 
 {{col{

 <<tiddler 'Ticklers Requiring Action'>>
 
 <<mgtdList
     title:'Complete List'
     startTag:Action 
     tags:'Next && !Done'
     where:tiddler.hasActiveProject()&&(tiddler.hasParent('Context'))
     view:ActionProj
     mode:global
     sort:modified
 >>

 }}}
 
 {{col{
 
  <<mgtdList title:'Current Chain'
     startTag:Starred
     tags:'Next && !Done' 
     view:ActionProj 
     mode:global
     gView:bold
     sort:-modified
     >>

 <<mgtdList
    startTag:Starred
    tags:'Tickler && !Done'
    view:Tickler
    mode:global
    gView:bold
    sort:-modified
    >>
 
 }}}
 
 }}}
