[tw5] Re: I promise I searched for this answer
Hey all,
Sorry for the delay. Attached is a screen shot of my
$:/config/NewJournal/title shadow tiddler.
Mark,
I tried making that tiddler to see all by created date, but nothing showed
up. Did I need to have the title formatted a certain way? I put
$:/tags/ViewTemplate as a tag but nothing showed up there.
thanks again for all the help!

Mark, Thanks for the link to that page on the filters. I hadn't messed with the Advanced Search yet, but that does seem like an easier place to try out some filters. I created the tiddlers in order, so February first on though June, so I don't think it was that. Reading TW's reply, it seems like I didn't understand what fields were included, or how they were formatted. TW, I guess in my searching I didn't see other people having similar issues. Or at least the titles seemed different enough that I didn't open the discussions. I have added your json and will see how that works. The content of my $:/config/NewJournal/title tiddler was: MM DDTH. Thankfully I'm not too far into using Tiddlywiki, so manually adding the date field for the ones I have shouldn't take too long. Thanks so much for your reply and work on that add-in.

[tw5] Re: I promise I searched for this answer
Mark, I guess I am not adding an additional date field, just set the date of new journal tiddlers to " MMM DDth." Eric, I ended up trying <> Which works, except for some reason June is below the rest! Feb-May is in order from newest on top to oldest on the bottom, but June is below everything else? thanks you both for your help! I didn't find a syntax guide (that I understood) for adding filters, so thanks for that too.

[tw5] I promise I searched for this answer
Hey all, I started using Tiddlywiki in February for a commonplace book kind of thing. I like the journal aspect, but I'm having a problem with organizing it. I have a "Journal List" tiddler that has the very simple <> to display all of my journal tiddlers. I've run into two issues that I can't seem to find an answer for. First, this organizes the list by the title alphabetically, not by date. What could I add that puts them by date? I use ISO 8601 for my dates, so it's useable as is, but it would be nice to get them right. Second, how could I limit it to only show year 2020? I might end up using this for a while and wouldn't want a massive list of journal tiddlers if I could have a "Journal List 202x" for each year.
