Currently I am using "<$list filter='[tag[TAGNAME]sort[title]]'/>" to produce a list of tiddlers by tag. Works fine.

However, what I would like to do (and have failed miserably) is to get a list of tiddlers by tag, sorted by and displaying the value of a specific field.

So for example I have tiddlers "Apple", "Orange", "Pear".

All have a field named "nameid" that contains a string and all have the tag "Fruit".

I would like to produce a list of all items with the tag "Fruit", but the list should be derived from and sorted by the value of the "id" field, so the list would be:

AppleIDString

OrangeIDString

PearIDString

rather than

Apple

Orange

Pear

Which is what I have now.

Any help would be much appreciated!

regards

It sounds like you need the get operator https://tiddlywiki.com/#get%20Operator

Try this:

<$list filter='[tag[TAGNAME]get[nameid]sort[]]'>


</$list>

That is most excellent! Thanks! I missed that operator entirely!
