I found a useful lead from Eric Shulman using subsort https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/hZBWTSo8eCw
Using this I can order in the filter directly. My filter looks like this <$list filter='[!is[system]!tag[Journal]sortsub:integer<sub>limit<limit>]'> And the macro sub looks like this \define sub() [backlinks[]count[]] Thought I would leave this for the next person.
