Is there a good way to use the list-before or list-after field to allow sorting of tiddlers that ignores a/an/the at the beginning of titles?
For example, I was thinking the way it worked would allow you to put "Bell Jar" for the list-after field of a tiddler called "The Bell Jar", and then as long as I didn't specify sort[title], it would put The Bell Jar in place after the imaginary tiddler "Bell Jar" and sort anything without one of those fields in the straightforward alphabetic way. But it turns out that the tiddler in list-after or list-before has to actually exist, I guess? At least, it only works if, say, I tell it to list after "Bag of Bones", which does exist. But what if I make a tiddler called Beatrix, which ought to be in between? Now I have to remember to go back into The Bell Jar and update the sorting again, which could get very tedious and is prone to error. Please tell me there's a good way to handle sorting with a/an/the, even a different method, short of going the old route of tacking the offending article back on to the end! Right now, the only other thing I can think of is creating a new field on every single tiddler I'd want to sort as an alternate title field to use when sorting, and I'd rather avoid that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
