          <$keyboard key="((save-tiddler))" actions=<<save-tiddler-actions>> tag="div">
          <$list filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/EditTemplate]!has[draft.of]]" variable="listItem">
          <$transclude tiddler=<<listItem>>/>
          </$list>
          </$keyboard>
          </$keyboard>
          </$vars>
          </$fieldmangler>
          </div>

I noticed that the template is written like this. What I’m curious about is how to allow users to adjust the order of these tiddlers. Is this just a coincidence?

Manually drag and drop or add the list-before field?

If you open $:/tags/EditTemplate you will see, that it uses the list field to define the order.

If you use a plugin, and you want to “link” your template to any of the existing ones, you can use list-before or list-after to “keep” relative position of your template in relation to the core.

hope that helps
