Sorry, but this just isn't true. Go ahead and test it yourself:

Put

[tag[journal]][sort[-modified]]

into DefaultTiddlers - it works just fine, and is a great way to make
TW act like a rudimentary blog.

And combining such a statement with the more traditional list of
tiddler also works, but as I pointed out, one isn't able to control
the ordering of the display (static listing first, then dynamically
generated list) - the tag macro's sort statement applies to all the
tiddlers retrieved.

The other difficulty is that I haven't been able to get more complex
selection criteria to work, and ideally I'd like Eric's MatchTags to
be able to work like the tag macro does regarding *actually opening* a
list of tiddlers as part of the DefaultTiddlers functionality, rather
than just displaying a list.

I realize these are two separate questions - my current workaround is
to use a "default" tag and to control the ordering by manipulating the
titles, but it's definitely a less than ideal kludge. . .
