That's right, Mark - I don't want pord (which IS numeric) to be visible.
It's only there for ordering.
When I use the two <$list> tags, I get 5 items in the list, all links to
the current tiddler (see A below)
The original I copied from earlier in this chain is:
<$list filter='[tag[client]each[2_surname]get[2_surname]sort[]]'
variable=Surname>
<$list filter='[tag[client]2_surname<Surname>sort[1_givenname]]'/>
</$list>
2_surname = pord AND 1_givenname = title
You're right that I got the filter wrong, so I fixed it (see black B
below) but still get the same result - current tiddler title 5x. What am I
still doing wrong?
I found a solution, but it's labor intensive:
1. added this as new field: sord: {{!!pord}} {{!!title}}
2. used this filter: <$list filter="[tag[avatar]] [tag[path]]
+[!tag[noshow]] +[!sort[sord]]">
3. for the extra tiddlers I wanted to force to top, sord = {{!!pord}} 1
Not as labor intensive as manual method, but... still not ideal.
