TiddlyWiki really messed up my life this time. Urgent help needed!

[David Gifford]

Hi everyone.

And after all I did for TiddlyWiki, creating a tutorial, a list of plugins, and various adaptations. And it does THIS to me, adding hours to my work yesterday and potentially a few days more of work yet to go.

Here is my problem: I have our seminary's library collection on TiddlyWiki, and to help with the inventory I created this tiddler http://www.giffmex.org/bibliotecaSTRM.html#[[%23%20Total]] which uses an FET macro that orders every book in the library by call number. The call number is in a form field using Formtiddlerplugin and Datatiddlerplugin. But as you will see, the first 90% of the tiddler does that, but then the other 10% of the books at the end of the tiddler are scattered in no particular order. I tried tinkering with the FET to see what I did wrong. I am not sure if it just can't handle that many entries, or what. But the same code always worked in the past. Now it doesn't.

Would any of you have a workaround? Then at least I can see the entire list in order, re-collate the hundreds of books from the bottom 10%, which are on the floor presently, back to their respective places, and do the inventory over again the right way. (Out of sheer necessity I needed to do it as best I could yesterday while I had the student librarian here).

Thanks for any help you guy can give me.

Oh, and for those who like to see new and creative uses for TiddlyWiki, see this file. It is in Spanish, but you can still get the idea:

The file is at http://www.giffmex.org/recursosgiffmex.html

1. At the top click on the two purple buttons called "Al azar!" They are random generator buttons for articles and insights, respectively. Click on "Inicio" (home) to return to the main screen.

2. Click on http://www.giffmex.org/recursosgiffmex.html#[[Introducci%C3%B3n%20y%20trasfondo%20de%20Lamentaciones]] or search for Introducción y trasfondo de Lamentaciones to open that tiddler, and you will see insights listed, and the @ symbol enlarges the insight.

Also on the file, fontsizeplugin, a tag cloud, and a number of other helpful features. Spent a lot of time getting this the way I wanted it.

Blessings, and thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Hi Dave,
In order for the sorting to work correctly, each tiddler needs to have a (defined) call number.

Hi cmari

But most of the tiddlers in the messed up part have defined call numbers. Why aren't those in order? Or are you saying that because there are some with undefined call numbers, that is messing the others up? So do you think that if I added a letter to each undefined call number field, that they would then work properly? Please help me know how to interpret your comment. Blessings to you,

Dave

Hi everyone! I got it! cmari's comment made me try this, and it worked

<<forEachTiddler
where
'tiddler.tags.contains("bibentry") && tiddler.data("callnumber")'
sortBy 'tiddler.data("callnumber")'
write
'"#"+tiddler.data("callnumber")+"[["+tiddler.title+"]]<br>\n"'
>>

Thanks and blessings to all,

Dave
