Actually, if you wanted predictability, the mechanism will do no sorting 
whatsoever but walk through the indexes in the very sequence they are 
specified in the dictionaries. As for dictionaries themselves, the list 
field of the corresponding system-tag would declare precedence of one 
dictionary over the other.

I think each dictionary should have a *filter* field that specifies what 
tiddlers a given dictionary applies to.

In Simon's original plugin, this was done by adding a tag (excludeWikiWords)

I don't see such a plugin using list widgets but rather query the wiki for 
replacement definitions in dictionary tiddlers directly (using js). So, any 
configurations will have to be bound to the dictionaries themselves, I 
think. Therefore, the only true option I see right now is the *filter*.

Best wishes,

Tobias.
