sort:version:reverse?

[Cade Roux]

I have change logs with a field for version information, and I am trying to sort them in reverse order and it doesn't appear to be working.  The change log tiddlers themselves are also lists, but I cleared all that out and loaded these into the latest TW version to make a minimal reproducible case.  If I take out the sort entirely, the 10.0 comes to the top as you would expect for them to be sorted by title.  But the sort either with or without :reverse is the same.

<ul><$list filter="[ascend.change[index]] :sort:version:reverse[get[ascend.version]]"><li><$link to={{!!title}} /><br/><$transclude/></li></$list></ul>

What am I doing wrong?

Hello Cade! As you might note with other posts at google groups, the community for this discussion has migrated to talk.tiddlywiki.org.

Although we (at that forum) can still *see* posts from the google group, we can't reply easily to them. 

So please come on over to google groups.

Meanwhile, I can suggest that the documentation on the reverse Operator shows that it doesn't take a parameter, nor does it work as a parameter within the sort filter run prefix; instead it works at the "caboose" end of any filter to flip the list order. Something like this works at Tiddlywiki.com:

`{{{ [has[version]] :sort:version[get[version]] +[reverse[]] }}}`

Of course, I meant "come on over *from* google groups, and join us at talk.tiddlywiki.org"

I see, I can use that separate reverse operator instead of doing it in the initial sort.

I'm still not sure how to use the reverse documented here in the flaglist in the :sort filter run prefix:

I'll post any future questions in the other forums.

Thanks,

Cade

Interesting! The documentation DOES imply that you can tuck :reverse into the very place where you had it!

Perhaps this is just an error in documentation? In fact it works fine if it comes *before* the sort-type parameter:

`{{{ [has[version]] :sort:reverse:version[get[version]] }}}`

I'm not 100% sure yet, but there seems to be a bug. I'll have a closer look.

A fast look to the code suggests, that the documentation is right.

But I can confirm, that it does not work as intended with my test tiddlers.
