    I’m learning more and more about the beauty of Ditto.

    My goal is to have a repository of documents, in a folder or folders, for use as a pseudo calendar or lsit of events. I love how I can list the newest articles/documents based on createon date, but it would work better to use pub_date, however then say you have it showing documents that are not yet published and they click to view, and it won’t show (unless logged into the manager).

    Maybe this has been done, I couldn’t find anything on it really, any help would be joyus.

    I’ve been asking for much help lately, but I’ve come across some fun discoveries as well, I hope to share those soon in the Wiki.

      Ok I think I might be getting somewhere .. if I use a TV with the "event page" using the the date formater Widget and a Date as the data type. It lets me put in a date like so 27-01-2007 21:29:19 ... can I sort the listing that Ditto outputs based on that date TV? .. based on that data really.

      Mkay back to hackin’ away.

        You can create a TV with the unixtime widget which Ditto can sort by.
