Scenario 1
Well, say I am editing today’s journal, and I need to edit the journal entry of the day before yesterday. How do I get to the “day before yesterday” journal?
I click on the journal tag and click the “sort button” to sort entries in descending order. (I have a custom button in the tag pill dropdown that lets me sort entries.) Then I pick the entry I am looking for, which is now more accessible because of sorted entries.
Scenario 2
Another use case is adding 'Next" and “Previous” links to the bottom of the very tiddler. (There are guides on it. No big deal here.) But these buttons pick the next/previous entry from the list field.
If the list field gets automatically sorted, then the Next/Previous buttons will work as expected.
Side Note
If journals are titled in this format, YYYY-0MM-0DD, they are easier to sort.
