Sort Order in Data Tiddlers Question

[TonyM]

Folks,

Using the following code I am extracting a list of field names from a dictionary tiddler, and retrieving the description

<$list filter="[[fields-dictionary]indexes[]]" variable=fieldname>
  <$checkbox field=<<fieldname>>  checked="yes" unchecked="no" default="no"> <$text text={{{ [[fields-dictionary]getindex<fieldname>] }}}/></$checkbox><br>
</$list>

A checkbox allows the field to be created and set.

The Question?

As you can see I am not including a sort operator, so I would hope the result would be in the order stored in the fields-dictionary dictionary tiddler, however it is in alphabetical order.

Is there a way to retrieve the data in a data tiddler in is raw order?

Or am I forced to setup a seperate list and use the sortby Operator?

Thanks in advance

Tony

Hi Tony

 Eric Shulman has invented a method to do this! If you make a search in forum you find it!

Of course the procedure is a little costly!

Mohammad,

I think you may be referring to this https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!searchin/tiddlywiki/data$20dictionary$20sort$20eric%7Csort:date/tiddlywiki/LJpK7t31G98/74DPWE83AwAJ

However that is about sorting the titles of the tiddlers in which an index occurs, as IO read it a different question.

I wand the data tiddler indexes returned unsorted. But this search is not bearing fruit either.

Thanks anyway.

Regards

Tony

It returns dataTiddler indexes with the sort method you like
