Hi Stephan
Sorry for the delay in replying - I have been having trouble with my emails.
To take your example of two lists, the outer sorted by 'stage' and the
inner by 'order' - my problem is that the value in 'stage' has been
transcluded from another tiddler. I have found that sorts by it don't
work and Jeremy has confirmed that this is unavoidable because filter
definitions are not wikified so it treats the transclusion code as literal
text.
A further complication is that the tiddler from which I transclude the
value in 'stage' varies - this depends on the value of another field of the
tiddler I am trying to sort.
The upshot is that I have had to use a rather different approach which now
works satisfactorily.
Thanks for your efforts in trying to find a solution
Regards
Howard
