Why doesn't this list filter work?

[David Gifford]

I have the following in a viewtemplate tiddler:

<$list filter="[all[current]backlinks[]] +[all[current]links[]] +[sort[title]]"><$link><$view field="title"/></$link> - </$list>

Desired behavior:

A list of all tiddlers linking to the current, plus all the links contained in the current, sorted by title.

Actual behavior:

Lists all the links contained in the current, sorted by title. Does not include links to tiddlers backlinking to current.

Hi David, I think it must be

<$list filter="[all[current]backlinks[]] [all[current]links[]] +[sort[title]]"><$link><$view field="title"/></$link> - </$list>

[Mat]

<$list filter="[all[current]backlinks[]] +[all[current]links[]] +[sort[title]]"><$link><$view field="title"/></$link> - </$list>

Desired behavior:

A list of all tiddlers linking to the current, plus all the links contained in the current, sorted by title.

I didn't try out anything but:

Verbally you can say "plus" but this is not what the "+" means. The "+" means that this condition should be added i.e whatever comes out of the first filter must now pass through the plus filter, which probably means no tiddlers qualify. You can try to remove the "+" character.

Thanks BurningTreeC! +1 for telling me to remove a +
