Hi Tim,

First things first: I have made a little demo here for you to poke around:

Be sure to use the right terms, when you say "operator", we mostly think 
you refer to a filter operator <http://tiddlywiki.com/#Filter%20Operators>.
It appears you meant to say "list widget <http://tiddlywiki.com/#Widgets>", 
or ListWidget <http://tiddlywiki.com/#ListWidget>.

As for:
 

> Using the following, I get no results:
> <$list filter="[tag[client]each[2_surname]sort[2_surname]]" 
> variable=Surnames>
> <$list filter="[tag[client]2_surname<Surnames>sort[1_givenname]]">
> </$list>
> </$list>
>

You use an opening and a closing tag for the *$list* widget.
This makes the list widget assume that its contents are to be the item 
template.
Since you have nothing specified, it never actually outputs anything.

This won't work:

>

...because the two lists are not nested.

What you may think will work is:

<$list filter='[tag[client]each[2_surname]sort[2_surname]]' 
variable=Surname>

<$list filter='[tag[client]2_surname<Surname>sort[1_givenname]]'/>

</$list>

However, Jed forgot a tiny detail in the first filter.
We need to actually get the surname:

<$list filter='[tag[client]each[2_surname]get[2_surname]sort[]]' 
variable=Surname>

<$list filter='[tag[client]2_surname<Surname>sort[1_givenname]]'/>

</$list>

Best wishes,
