The different parts include the tags, title, series, series index and custom purchased column. Other than the title I use all these pieces to ease my collections creation and of course to know the series info, so I need all the pieces to show up. I like the tags first because that is the main collections piece. Other than that I do not care what order they show up in as long as the one line is short enough I can read most of the title and the series info. Thus what started this journey.


I know what the problem is, we are mixing program and template language!!!

Since I'm the one who knows what he's doing in the land of program:, I should've anticipated this and warned you, sorry.

This will literally be the easiest step, it's really easy to convert from template to program mode. Give me a few minutes...
