Hi,

Is there a way to get the position of an item in a "list field"?

More info:
Recently I've discovered the "nth" filter operator 
<https://tiddlywiki.com/#nth%20Operator>, and one of the use case I 
immediately think about was to "iterate" through items in multiple related 
"list fields"

Take the following example (not a real one, just to get the idea clear):
If a family needs to manage its friends, each family member's Tiddler will 
have the following fields:
1- friend-names : "list field" contains ALL friends
2- friendships-start-date : "list field" where the "position" of the date 
determine the friend's names
3- friendships-meter : "list field" where the "position" of the % determine 
the friend's names

Ex.
friend-names :         [[alex]]          [[andy]]            [[john]]      
       [[evan]]
friendships-start-date :  [[Mar2015]]   [[Dec2017]]    [[Nov2016]]    
 [[Feb2011]]
friendships-meter     [[70]]              [[30]]               [[60]]      
          [[90]]

Now I can use the filter "[contain:friend-name[alex]]" to get all family 
members who is a friend with "alex".
And if I know the <<position>> of "alex" in the "friend-names" field, I can 
get the rest of the data corresponding to it for the currentTiddler using a 
filter like:
"[all[current]get[friendships-meter]enlist-input[]nth<position>]" 

Regards
