Hi Mark, Many thanks for your comments. For now, I use your solution with Mario keyvalues (https://wikilabs.github.io/editions/keyvalues/) to sort key:values. Unfortunately it seems the values filter operator has little chance to be merged ()
I personally do not like to include JS in my solution, but for it seems there is no better solution. @stobot In my opinion, data tiddler / JSON tiddler are quite handy elements, but it seems there is little or no desire to improve their functionality in the core. I believe some basic features like what Mario has proposed are really useful.
