Mario, If I were to try sortbydate:finished[DD/MM/], how would you suggest I integrate it into the list I have at the moment? If this is the basic form: <$list filter="[!has[draft.of]tag[reading]sort[finished]]"> //<$link to={{!!title}}><$view field="title"/>// <$view field="author"/> |

For anyone interested in living dangerously, here is my first attempt at writing a filter. In the filter syntax, it takes the form sortddmm[mydatefield] I have barely tested it, and have no idea what happens if you throw incorrectly formatted stuff at it. It wants dates like

If your "finished" tiddlers were created on the same date they were finished, then sorting by "created" instead of "finished" should accomplish what you want. The "finished" field then becomes a link/descriptor field. For those tiddlers that you did not create on the actual finish date, you

Thank you, everyone, for your input, but--and I may be mistaken--I think this may have gotten off topic somewhere. I am not trying to change my journal tiddlers (if I can help it). I am trying to make a list of books I have read, each as its own tiddler, and organized by the date I finished

... or sort[created] for the creation date. You can also make the created date visible by changing the value of $:/config/EditTemplateFields/Visibility/created to "show". That would allow you to fix those journal entries that had been created out of order. You have to be careful not to delete

Hi Michael, TW doesnt know that your field should be interpreted as a date, So the sort order is alphabetical. You can use /MM/DD as a format. It will still be sorted alphabetically but this time it works, since this format naturally sorts. have fun! mario -- You received this message
