This example worked for me, but I think it may need to have the inner <$set> changed to another <$list>.
<$set name=slidetag value="myslide"> <$list filter="[tag<slidetag>!nsort<slidetag>]" > <$set name="slidenumber" filter="[all[current]get<slidetag>]"> <<slidenumber>><br/> </$set> </$list> </$set> The main thing is, that you needed the "get" operator, not the field operator. The field operator filters by a field's contents. The "get" operator returns the value of a field.
