If so, then I would use Mohammad's Tiddler Commander <https://kookma.github.io/TW-Commander/> to change color. If you create a tiddler like "mytags" and put all the tags in it that you want to have a new color, then in the TC filter box you could use a filter like "[list[mytags!!tags]] . Add a color field with the #ff0000 value (or whatever color you want). If all the tags are not tiddlers, then it's a fairly simple batch to create them. I'm not aware of any standard way to change font style and text color of tags without hacking the core. But maybe someone else will. > > My second question is about multilevel sorting.

The *mysort* filter for the sortsub operator has to be defined in the surrounding variables. The *sortsub* puts the birth-year and death-year together, and then uses that to sort by.
