Hi Matabele,
Your approach is making me optimistic that TW5 can be functional as well as 
merely fun for me, so I'm making an effort to give something back - but 
please ignore this if it doesn't fit with your ideas!

1. (This is a really minor point).  At the bottom of the tiddler 
$:/_leftmenu, in this line:
<<tabs "[!has[draft.of]tag[$:/tags/leftmenu]sort[title]]" "$:/_leftmenu 1" 
"$:/state/tab1">>

I think that $:/_leftmenu 1 may be  a holdover from a previous version and 
should be updated?  (On the other hand, it's very possible I don't 
understand the tabs widget.  I didn't think I saw any difference when I 
changed this, so maybe it's no big deal).

2. My minor idea: I'm always tweaking tiddlers, which meant that using 
"modified" as the basis for sorting contexts, days, and months wasn't 
working very well for me.  To affect sort order, I did the following:

a. In each context, day, and month tiddler, I added a field (I called it 
"gtid-order") and inserted the appropriate values for chronological sorting 
(01 for Jan, 02 for Feb, etc.).

b. In the following places, I change the sorting filter to 
[sort[gtid-order]]:

   - $:/_tagbar-context
   - macro definition \define tagPill(tag) ($:/_leftmenu)
   - macro definition \define editTags(type) ($:/_edit-tags)

c. Part "b" took care of sorting on the leftmenu, but I still wanted 
day/month tags to be displayed chronologically in tiddlers and 
transclusions.  For that, I took advantage of your color definition.  In  
$:/_display-panel I deleted this line

<$list 
filter="[is[current]tags[]sort[title]]"><$link>{{!!title||$:/_showtag}}</$link></$list>
and replaced it with:
<$list 
filter="[all[current]tags[]sort[title]]-[field:color[#89C6AF]]"><$link>{{!!title||$:/_showtag}}</$link></$list><$list
 
filter="[all[current]tags[]has[gtid-order]field:color[#89C6AF]sort[gtid-order]]">
 
<$link>{{!!title||$:/_showtag}}</$link></$list>

d. To really control sorting order, it's also possible to change 
$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/tags, replacing the shadow contents with:
<div class="tw-tags-wrapper"><$list 
filter="[all[current]tags[]sort[title]]-[field:color[#89C6AF]]" 
template="$:/core/ui/TagTemplate" storyview="pop"/><$list 
filter="[all[current]tags[]field:color[#89C6AF]sort[gtid-order]]" 
template="$:/core/ui/TagTemplate" storyview="pop"/></div>
Thanks again for all the great ideas!
