{tags} - just unsorted

Irian · 11-24-2016, 02:26 PM

Hello,

I've got a book that, in the metadata view, has tags like this...

"Science Fiction, Postapocalyptic"

So, the first tag is "Science Fiction". Unfortunately, when using {tags}, the list is sorted alphabetically, thus making "Postapocalyptic" the first one.

Is there any way to get the original, unsorted tag list, since then I want to use this first tag (the one, I entered first, not the first one alphabetically) as a part of my ebook name on my device (tolino collections -> collection should be series, if any, first tag else or "other" if no tags/series... Works fine, except the tags are sorted, thus I keep getting the "wrong" tag).

Regards,

Flo

@Irian - try using the raw_list(name, separator) function in the template.

Thanks, I tried using {raw_list(tags, ',')} as a new column, but somehow that doesn't work, something is still eluding me...

A suggested solution:

Code:

{tags:'sublist(raw_list($, ','), 0, 1, ',')'}

Didn't know about the $. But unfortunately, it doesn't work. Still getting the first alphabetical tag, not the first real one.
