Journal List Descending by date.

[skang]

Hey folks,

I have scoured the google groups, but i am wanting to have a main menu button to click that would produce and list of my journal entries with the most RECENT entry by Creation date on top?
Can this be done with tags or lists Without adding plug ins?

thanks!

Yes, it can!

<<tag tagValue label tooltip sortby>>

where tagValue, label, and tooltip are text, and sortby is a tiddler
field name, with an optional "+" or "-" prefix to indicate sort order
(default is "+" = ascending)

For your use-case:

<<tag journal "journals" "show journals, most recent first" "-
created">>

the "-created" param tells the macro to sort by the "created" field,
in reverse (decending) order, so that the most recent tiddlers will be
displayed first.

enjoy,

Is there a way to limit the journals shown to a time period, like the last month or by the number shown?

Instead of the tags macro, try this one:
<<list filter "[tag[journal]][sort[-created]][limit[20]]">>
