[tw5] Re: Sorting or restricting a list filter by index
It depends on the form of your data to be imported. For instance, if it's a
spreadsheet, there is the Exel importer edition.
Good luck!

Hi Mark,
Yep it was data dictionary tiddler I meant. My mistake.
By the looks of it, as you say, this won't be a working solution. And, I'll
need to use the fields instead. The issue is that filling in fields is to
my mind requires a little more effort. Unless of course there's some import
mechanism.
Either way, many thanks. I'll have a look at importing.
Christian.

[tw5] Re: Sorting or restricting a list filter by index
By "data tiddlers", do you mean "data dictionary tiddlers" ?
If so, I don't think your "sort" here is actually doing anything. Sort only
works on fields.
Data dictionaries are useful when you have long lists of information that
don't benefit from the
overhead of a normal tiddler. Or when you have a lot of simple information
you copy and paste
into a single tiddler. But if you have a data tiddler for each person, then
there is no
benefit from the dictionary, and things like this will be more complicated,
partially because
there is little core functionality for dictionaries.
If you're using regular tiddlers, then you're filter becomes
<$list filter='[tag[person]field:team[Android]]'>
Note that it doesn't sort on team -- they'll all have same entry!
Mark
