Opinion: TW Ordering and the Treasury Tag

[@TiddlyTweeter]

Cari tutti

The British Empire's Bureaucracy invented the marvellous TREASURY TAG (sometimes called the "Indian Tag").

It lets you stack papers in any order you want. Though only one order at a time.

Computing allows us to use a coded version of Treasury Tags for non-physical quick re-orders.

The singular advantage of the Treasury Tag is you can re-order according to significance (arbitrarily, at will) (latest significant first).

In TiddlyWiki the closest to that is the "Story River."

WHAT is my point?

BETWEEN tag structuration and arbitrary flow lies the somewhat fallow land of showing emergent structure WITHOUT re-structuring (i.e. NO Tiddler needs change its Tags or wotnot).

The LESS one has to do to change anything to change an order the better IMO. Re-ordering without more-data accretion is pretty good stuff.

Drag-and-Drop is one pretty good solution to making life on the Bureaucratic Front easier. Long may it expand its remit and ease of setup.
