What I’m trying to do

I want to sort a dataviewjs task query by inline text metada like [Rating:::star:]. There’s no problem when the metadata is a number, but idk how to do the query when the metadata is a text.

Things I have tried

dv.taskList(dv.pages("#books").file.tasks.sort(k => k.Rating,'desc').groupBy(t =>t.tags), false)

The trick is to somehow turn your value into a sortable value. One way to do so is to use your value as the key into a dictionary of their assigned numerical value.

I.e. one star could then be 1, two stars 2, and so on.
