Hi Jed What do you make of the idea of applying filters to the list after manipulation, rather than having to specify the point of insertion of a string? (this allows for the addition of multiple strings in one step.)
I can see that for some purposes, the list must remain in the order it was created (as in the example of a set of moves "LEFT FORWARD2 RIGHT ..." -- but in such cases there would be no need to sort the list, and the whole list can, in any case, be edited in an edit-text widget. You appear to be targeting a usage case such as for keeping a set of accounts, or a cashbook, or some such. In this case, each record requires a date, and various other information -- surely this is a case for using one tiddler/transaction (and sorting on date)? I still fail to see what arbitrary ordered lists may be useful for. I can see that many lists need to retain an order, but there are limits to the number of orders required -- hence my suggestion: sort this list (these days) in the order of another list (days-of-the-week.) A single data table containing these specific orders would suffice for sorting any list. regards On Monday, 12 October 2015 13:16:30 UTC+2, Jed Carty wrote: > > The demo I made can handle arbitrary lists and handle cases where only > unique entries are desired.
