Hi Hegart, Thank you for your efforts! I took a look at your demo. I like the trick of using one tiddler with multiple fields for variables. Simple and elegant.
The calc plugin can be used to increment a value in a button ( http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#calc). This increments by the incrementer value: <$button set="$:/_Data/variables!!current-count" setTo=<<calc $:/_Data/ variables!!current-count + by:$:/_Data/variables!!incrementer>>>+</$button> So that is now a part of the pseudocode: <$edit-text tiddler="$:/_Data/variables" field="current-count" size="5" /> <$edit-text tiddler="$:/_Data/variables" field="incrementer" size="5" /> <$edit-text tiddler="$:/_Data/variables" field="filter" size=50 /> <$list filter={{$:/_Data/variables!!filter}}> for each tiddler in list set field 'sort_order' to <<current-count>> increment <<current-count>> by <<incrementer>> next tiddler It's a question of triggering an action inside a list, in such a way as to make it act like a "for" loop. -Matthew On Thu, 21 Apr 2016 at 00:30 Hegart Dmishiv <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Matthew, > > Sorry, I was working on a solution to this yesterday, but I got > sidetracked.
