S. S., Firstly, thank you for taking the time to put that table together. I have tried it and it does work ... if the table is not sortable. Perhaps I have explained myself poorly. What I am looking to do is to keep the table sortable, but change the default behavior, which is that, after

S. S., I apologize for being a clod, but I am afraid I don't see how I would be able to implement the get operator in the above table. Would you be able to explain how I would use the operator properly? From what I understand, I would not have thought it would work with the sortable table.

[tw5] Using the list filter with more than one tag

I'll apologize in advance for what I am sure is an incredibly simple question, but for the life of me I have been unable to figure out. I would like to use more than one tag in a list filter, so instead of: <$list filter="[tag[TagName]sort[title]]"/> Which creates a list of tiddlers, I could

Mark, I lifted the code from (and based the set up on) the https://www.ooktech.xyz:8443/Public#JustSearch tiddler. I only intend to use this search bar in this single case. If you'll forgive my ignorance, could you explain why not using the code as a macro worries you? In other news, yes,

[tw5] Re: Sorting Search Results

Mark, Thank you for your suggestions. Do you know if it would be in anyway possible to create another search box in a separate tiddler? If I created a new tiddler (or tiddlers) specifically for searching through my journal entries, it seems like I could sidestep most of the difficulties you
