Are you asking about the
stuff I talked about in post 24? If so then the process would be:
- Run the search
Code:
template:"""program: item_has_notes('series')#@#:b:yes"""
This gets you a list of books where the series value has a note attached.
- Make a temp VL from this search. This isn't strictly necessary because you could use a compound search, but it does make it easier to sort and to experiment to get the list you want.
- Sort the booklist by series ascending.
- Run
Code:
template:"""program: get_N_books_per_field_value('series',1)#@#:b:yes"""
The template used in this search is still under thought/development.
You would see a list one book per series, where that book has the lowest series index.
If you sorted the series descending in step 3 then you would get the highest numbered book in each series.
If you search for rating:true, sort the rating column in reverse, then run the template in step 4 with 'publisher', you would get the highest rated book for each publisher.
And so on.
