Mohammad. That is brilliant!
I made many attempts at a filter but never was able to get it. The missing piece for me is the currentTiddler in the criteria variable. In the context of the list, currentTiddler is the surname. It makes sense after I see it. This indicates I am still not understanding macros and variables correctly. Thanks again!
