By default, the items in the <<toc>> output are sorted alphabetically at each level. As you know, you can override this order by using the "list" field. Any titles entered there are shown in the <<toc>> output in the order specified. Any other titles with the same tag are then shown alphabetically following the items from the list field. In your case, you renamed some tiddlers... which are still tagged accordingly, so they still show up in the <<toc>> output. However, the names entered into the "list" field are *not* automatically updated when you rename tiddlers, so the list field still has the old titles. Because those tiddlers don't exist, they don't continue to show up in the <<toc>> output. However, because the renamed tiddler titles are not in the list field, those tiddlers default to following the listed tiddlers, but in alphabetical order. Which is just what you are observing. solution: go back and edit the "list" fields to enter the updated tiddler titles in the desired order. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios "Inside TiddlyWiki: The Missing Manual" https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/inside-tiddlywiki-the-missing-manual/x/8816263 Note: the IndieGogo funding campaign has ended, but direct fundraising continues below...
