Tweak for setting tags browser order

[Rellwood]

I am not sure how this works. I tried to use it to have my genre and bookshelf tags be first, but it never worked.

The tweak rule describes:
"Example: tag_browser_category_order = {'series':1, 'tags':2, '*':3} resulting in the order series, tags, then everything else in default order."

Does this mean that custom columns are excluded? The way I see this it seems that the series and then the tags are first with everything else being after. I understand that the '*' indicates any or all, but is it only the preset tags? Or do I need to set up the standard columns first and then do the custom columns. I was only focusing on the custom columns. I don’t care how the standard tags are sorted, but I wanted to sort the many other custom columns.

Also, the modifyer is set up like this:

"tag_browser_category_order = {u'*': 1}"

Does that mean that I have to put a "u" before all the columns?

My goal is to have the custom colums be listed like this

label
'#booksource '
'#all_the_book_sources '
'#genre '
'#currentbookshelves '
'#dashed_current_bookshelves '
'#bookshelves '
'#extra_tags '
'#calibrelibrary '
'#book_style '
'#readstatus '
'#exclusiveshelf '
'#details '
'#rc '
'#goodreads_author '
'#goodreads_binding '
'#second_series '

Any help getting this to happen would be appreciated!

All columns that are categories can be included, i.e. built-in and custom. The order they appear in the list is irrelevant, it's the number after the column name that matters. Example:

{u'#booksource': 3,
u'#all_the_book_sources': 5,
u'#genre': 6,
u'#currentbookshelves': 4,
u'#dashed_current_bookshelves': 7,
u'*': 8,
u'authors': 1,
u'publisher': 2}

ah, thanks! I was able to fix it. I see you used excell to format your rows too that Job Spy custom column export info to clipboard makes it so easy!
