How does the ranking of certain attributes work?

Hi everybody! I’m just discovering the latest — and superb — version of Tinderbox and I don’t quite understand how some features work now: the tag sorting, for example, is no longer individual. In the screenshot below, the Associativité-Clinique series is missing the Attachement, Chercheur or Clinicien tags.

Is there a way to do this differently, or is it a system setting? Thank you for your answers.

OK, I assume you are talking about $Tags, and by inference all Set/List type attributes. The ‘sorting’ referred to also appears not to be sorting as such but the definition of the category ‘buckets’.

There status quo, as I understand it is here:

q.v. “For attribute data types that support multiple values, e.g. Set and List, notes are grouped for every unique list value present.”

So scrolling down there should be a category of Associativité-Clinique / Attachement / Chercheur / Clinicien. But as I can’t see the document I can’t be sure.

If in doubt, click the ‘bins’ button lower right of the AB views expanded control panel (see) and drag the bin count selector all the way to the right.

Quick test, note how \bong’ appears twice:

In testing this, Tinderbox ‘guessed’ the wrong number of bins to display, I had to drag the slider to get all 3. bin selection did get alerted recently and I think there is some settling in to do.

I understand the way it works. What a level of precision In the incrementing! Great! Thank you!
