As long as your output text starts with the author name, you should be able to get the results sorted by putting this just before the return statement:
out.sort() ; If you suddenly decide you want to sort by some other field (slice), then either you would need to make that field the start of each output line, or you would need to rewrite the code a bit to store away each tiddler's data as an array instead of a string, then sort the array by passing the sort method a sort function, then iterate over the output array to build the formatted output. If your output happens to be formatted as a table, then you could use Eric's table-sorting plugin and the entire table will then be instantly sortable by any column you choose. This is probably the easiest and most flexible solution. -- Mark On Apr 30, 1:35 pm, mck <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the script! > > Is there a way to get this to sort by author? > > I found that I can tweak the EndNote APA style: > > BOOK: > `|`author`|`Author`|` > `|`year`|`(Year)`|` > `|`title`|`Title`|` > `|`(Translator, Trans.)`|` > `|`city`|`City`|` > `|`publisher`|`Publisher`|` > > to get EndNote to output the slices: > > |author|Goble, P.| > |year|(1980)| > |title|The gift of the sacred dog: story and illustrations| > |place|Scarsdale, N.Y.| > |publisher|Bradbury Press| > > <script> > var out=[]; > var fmt='%0 //[[%1]]//. %2. %3, %4<br>'; > var tids=store.getTaggedTiddlers('DogsFolklore'); > for (var i=0; i<tids.length; i++) { var t=tids[i].title; > var val1=store.getTiddlerSlice(t,'author') > var val2=store.getTiddlerSlice(t,'title') > var val3=store.getTiddlerSlice(t,'city') > var val4=store.getTiddlerSlice(t,'publisher') > var val5=store.getTiddlerSlice(t,'year') > out.push(fmt.format([val1,val2,val3,val4,val5])); > } > return out.join('\n'); > </script> > > Bibliography: > > Goble, P.
