Hi Richard, > Thank you interesting information, but not exactly germain to my question. >
Eric's answer was spot-on, very much germane indeed. I actually stored it as a reference. It would seem TiddlyWiki has bugs. > There may be those, but your case ain't one of them. ;-) No <$list> does not mention of a sort parameter, but > <$list filter="[tag[Use Case]]" sort="title"> > > works try changing title for 'created' or some other sort operation. > Even though it is not documented it seems to work. It does not work, neither is it documented, nor is it part of the core list widget code <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/modules/widgets/list.js> . You can easily verify this on TiddlyWiki.com by creating a tiddler containing: <table><tr><td> <$list sort="title"/> </td><td> <$list sort="modified"/> </td></tr></table> So... > Your suggestion of > <$list filter="[tag[Use Case]sort[title]]"> > does exactly the same thing in my limited testing. > Eric's suggestion works as designed and does not at all do the same thing as what you tried. The original point I was making is that the order produced was un-natural > from my point of view, putting numbers after characters. > This is because your example did not do any sorting in the first place. Am I alone in thinking that a filter is different from a sort? > Making sort subsiduary to filter seems illogical to me. > You are free to feel this way about this design choice. But then again, you appear to be the first one to be irritated by it. Sorting is a filter operation in TiddlyWiki for quite practical reasons. This is an argument for re-using code not for subsuming the sort operation > into filter. > Efficiency is an important issue. Sure, you may not have seen a model where sorting is designed as a subset of filtering. But then, there are a lot of things yet unseen by someone. Does that mean that those things should not be what they are? Best wishes, Tobias. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
