Thanks Mike,
so basically i am trying to do is simulate a ticketing tool.. , and assign
prioritys to tiddlers i am using as tasks , 2 criteria(severity , impact)
or more that add up to a given priority/ranking ,
so tiddler A is called " archive data"
field x is "severity" and has value 1111111
filed Y is "impact" and has value 111111111
Field z is "priority" and has value {{!!severity}}{{!!impact}} -->
translating to 1111111111111111
tiddler b is called "restart server"
field x is "severity" and has value 11
filed Y is "impact" and has value 11111111111
Field z is "priority" and has value {{!!severity}}{{!!impact}} -->
translating to 1111111111111
they also have another field "status" which can be either " In House " or "
With Vendor" , so thats another 4th field that will hold any of these 2
values .
then...
<$list filter=
"[status[In House]][status[With Vendor]]+[sort[priority]]">
Now ,The reason i am using ones in the field values (ie 11111) is because ,
i understand you cant do math in fields .. which is another problem ..
but then my thinking was ,i run a filter on all tiddlers which has "In
house " or "With Vendor " in the status field values
[status [In House]][status[With Vendor]]
then sort them using the priority field , and that should sort the tiddlers
with the higher ranking at top, and thats when i realized the sorting doesn
work , hence this post.
i have few questions
if i understood correctly you are saying this can be done using tags
instead ?
so can it be done using field instead (so instead of [tag[sortbyfield],
could it be [status [In House]?
also how can i view the outcome of the mathematical operations?
and finally , now that you know what i am after , is there a better way of
doing all this ?
