Birthe C was right, I had not reloaded the browser - I saved the my wiki,
the download has a " {x}" appended, I copied the latest saved one over the
original and re-opened it. The filter is now working as expected. This is
awesome. I'm very happy to be able to filter numerically. I think this
should be in the core TW5.
I already had a "has[length]" in my filter. If it take it out it lists all
those with no length field and by those that have one less than X.
I can sort by length (nlength). I'd like to sort tied lengths by name but I
haven't worked out how to do that yet. I tried sort[title]nsort[length] but
I can see that doesn't work as I desired.
I also noticed that if I have tiddlers with lengths that are purely
numeric, e.g. 11' (11 foot), then those tiddlers won't show up. I can take
a look at the code and see how it was done. I can take a look at your code
and learn how it works and then tweak it or add some new functions. I'd
like to be able to chain operations so that I can first convert the length
field stripping all non-numberic characters, then cast it to a number, and
then sort on that calculated value. That might be not be possibly though.
Thanks for all the help everyone, especially Jed for writing the plugin and
point it out to me. I can now do something I really wanted to do and was
struggling with.
