How do I rearrange the order of tags in a tiddler?

Hey, first post? Welcome to TiddlerHood !

I’ve attached a json file which you’ll find at the bottom of this post.

Download the file, and drag/drop it into tiddlywiki.com to import the one tiddler and see what it does.

The “Alternative Tags List for View Template” tiddler is tagged with “$:/tags/ViewTemplate”, indicating that the content of this tiddler should be displayed as part of the view for all tiddlers.

“Alternative Tags List for View Template” has a “list-after” field, (it could also/alternatively have a “list-before” field) which tells TiddlyWiki where in the order of things it ought to appear. To compare the standard tags list with this alternative, the alternative is showing right after the standard TiddlyWiki tags list.

As you tweak “Alternative Tags List for View Template”, you can compare it with the standard. (All I’ve done is copy the content from “$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/tags” and reversed the sort order, and added an orange border around it.)

If you are up to it, play around with this a little bit, and please ask questions. There is some foundational powerful stuff going on here.

As soon as you feel comfortable with what’s going on, the next step is getting your tags looking exactly as you would like (whatever way you would like.)

Then we can talk about hiding the standard layout of tags.
