Hi Tones, My problem is not so much the order of the letter as of now. However, your input may well serve me.
Non, my real concerne is that I am not successfull in getting a special filter for e, even though I already have this special case ready. I'm unable to connect it dynamically. I have seen in an other thread that I can do things like <$sort filter=<<my-filter>>/> So today I tried to build the complete filter. But I've not been sucessful at that. My attempt: first, the filter I need for e (here within a list widget):<$set name="special" filter="[<initial>compare:string:eq[e]<special-case>]"> <$list filter="[tag[glossaire]prefix<initial>][tag[glossaire]prefix[é]]+[sortan[]]"> for all the other letter, that is only: $list filter="[tag[glossaire]prefix<initial>]"/> (it seems I don't need sorting then. Is that a coincidence or is it a general truth?) What I coded: \define glossy() <$set name="initial" filter="[{!!title}lowercase[]]"> <$set name="special-case" value="=[tag[glossaire]prefix[é]]+[sortan[]]"> <$set name="special" filter="[<initial>compare:string:eq[e]<special-case>]"> special <<special>> now defined <$set name="ext-filter" value="[tag[glossaire]prefix<initial>]<$macrocall $name=special>>"> ext-filter <<ext-filter>> ready <ul> <$list filter=<<ext-filter>>> <li><$link/></li> </$list> </ul> </$set> </$set> </$set> \end My results: special =[tag[glossaire]prefix[é]]+[sortan[]] now defined ext-filter [tag[glossaire]prefix]=[tag[glossaire]prefix[é]]+[sortan[]] ready en-tête de colonne ou de ligne ensemble de pages environnement maîtrisé <$macrocall $name=special>> If I omit the double quotes arount the filter value in setting ext-filter, I'm getting a grammar error (no big surprise!)/ Le mercredi 21 octobre 2020 à 01:08:50 UTC+2, TW Tones a écrit : > Other "half baked" ideas, > > > - é list-before or list-after e > - On tiddlywiki.com see the > <<tag "Order Operators <https://tiddlywiki.com/#Order%20Operators>">> > > > Regards > Tones > > On Wednesday, 21 October 2020 10:06:13 UTC+11, TW Tones wrote: >> >> Jean-Pierre, >> >> Just a quick idea not thought through >> >> In the pre-release there is the sortby operator. >> >> Perhaps having a sort macro >> \define sorter() A a B b C c D d E é e .... >> Then sortby<sorter> >> >> You may need to split[] the letters to obtain the first letter etc. >> >> Regards Tones >> >> >> On Wednesday, 21 October 2020 09:50:11 UTC+11, Jean-Pierre Rivière wrote: >>> >>> In French, a glossary is as simple as in English except for the letter E >>> where we also some entry starting with É to take into account. >>> >>> This can be done like this: >>> >>> <ul> >>> <$list >>> filter="[tag[glossaire]prefix<initial>]=[tag[glossaire]prefix[é]]+[sortan[]]"><li><$link/></li> >>> </ul> >>> >>> where initial is a variable containing "e" (my glossary is all >>> lowercase, and each word in the entry has a tiddler tagged "glossaire"). >>> >>> But I want to build my glossary automatically.
