I have a list widget with the filter sorting by a field which contains just
a Javascript macro call of the form <<macroname>>. I can sort
successfully by any other field and transclude the macro field within the
list widget, but sorting by the macro field gives a sort by title.
The situation is fairly simple - I have a set of tiddlers for areas and a
set for actions. One of the action fields contains the title of an area
tiddler and I want to pick up the value of a field for this area (always
the same field) and concatenate it with an action field. Each of the two
fields concatenated contains one alphanumeric character, the area titles
are one upper case letter. I use the macro to carry out the
concatenation. When I transclude the macro field into any tiddler (not
just the tiddler it belongs to), I get the right result - the only problem
is using it to sort.
I only got as far as testing the approach, so have only put the macro field
into a few action tiddlers. I stripped down what I was doing to try to
find the root of the problem but even the following simple filter
('fullorder' is the macro field) gives a sort by title, though it does show
all the relevant tiddlers & their macro field values:
<$list filter="[has[fullorder]sort[fullorder]]">{{!!title}}-{{!!fullorder}}
</$list>
The macro is also straightforward with its operational part consisting of
just:
exports.run = function( ) {
return "<$transclude tiddler={{!!areacode}} field='stage'/><$transclude
field='order'/>";};
I would appreciate advice on ways of achieving the result I want, either by
modifying my current approach or by a different route.
