I'm thinking of a 2-step process. In step 1, you calculate the size of the text field and put it in a field (e.g. size).
Then step 2 you simply sort numerically by the size field. So how to get the count? You can use the regexps string I presented in another thread to globally split the entire text field character-by-character. Use the count filter operator to count the resulting size. Use action-setfield to save the resulting value. This entire process is called in an outer <$list> for each of the items you want to include in your sort. It's lazy of me not to try all this, but I know you can write the TW-code faster than I can ;-) HTH Mark On Monday, September 11, 2017 at 4:15:11 PM UTC-7, Mat wrote: > > Summary: I'd like to *sort my tids by size* and am wondering if anyone > has a solution for this? > > Longer: > > I'm in the process of converting my main TWC with thousands of tiddlers > into TW5, and it struck me as a good opportunity for cleaning. > > To make the most out of this, I'd like to sort my tids by size.
