Hi Tony
your suggestion is spot on, in fact I'm using a modified version of Tobias'
approach.
The only remark I have is that the sort operator in
<$list filter="[<data>indexes[]sort[title]]">
appears to be superfluous, since
$:/core/modules/filters/indexes.js
already forces sorting according to the titles.
This was also a problem for me, since I wanted to list the data tiddler in
its original order.
I've solved my problem by simply commenting
results.sort();
at the bottom of
$:/core/modules/filters/indexes.js
On a different front, I've also managed to programmatically change the type
of the tiddler, so that it is temporarily set to data.
So I'm pretty happy now.
Regards
Paolo
