Thanks for replying! That's a good way to do it. Ah, so there's no way to do it without excluding the unsorted tiddlers from the sort? I can't understand how the default sort does it though. You just have to write the name of the tiddlers you want first in the *list* field, and the rest are automatically sorted by *created*. Is it just that it's a more low level thing than toc macros?
Also, while this solution is more than enough for my purposes, I'm curious as to whether there is a way to do it automatically without a button? Perhaps by modifying the way the macro works?
