How to sort on the result of a bunch of formulas - useful for papers

It almost felt out of my league as well, as the awaiting kept fooling me as the debug output in the console seemed correct, until it suddenly wasn’t. Annoying, to say the least.

By the way, if you want you can set test = false at the start to remove the logging to the console, which I reckon you don’t need in everyday use when it’s working as expected.

Finally, some explanatory notes about the items in the table:

  • Critique, Crit It is the number of critique items in a list under the section Critique. Critique is the opinion of the reader/researcher on the content of the literature source.
  • Highlights, HL: It is the number of highlight items in the list under the section Highlights. Highlights are verbatim copy-paste text snippets from the literature source, no more than 2 or 3 lines. If the note is longer and cites a source or another author, they should go under the section Citations
  • Terms: It is the number of (term | definition) pairs per literature source. Terms may contain block-ids to later make a quick jump to the PDF or the location of term in the source note. Terms go under the section Glossary
  • Cases: Number of Field Cases entered as a pair (case | details) in the source note. Cases go under the section Field Cases
  • Mechanisms, Mech: Number of mechanisms that explain the phenomena. Entered as (mechanism | description | class) triads. Section Mechanisms
  • Citations, Cits: Number of citations that the source makes reference to. A citation is a verbatim copy-paste entered as (paper | subject | keywords | relevance). Go under the section Citations
  • Figures, Figs: Number of figures that the source note contains. These figures are screenshots taken from the literature itself. Figures are not under a specific section; they could accompany paragraphs in callouts, or terms, or mechanisms.
  • Extracts: These are important statements made in the literature source that deserve to be inside a colored callout. A callout could contain text, figures, Latex equations, block-ids for transclusion. Additionally, the callout could be rated as gold, silver, or bronze, which later can be utilized in a summary of all literature sources, of, for instance, Gold nuggets. They are grouped under the section Extracts. Callouts can be inserted anywhere in the source note but it is preferable to put them under the section Extracts.

My goal doing this is rating a literature source by the count of these annotations, not my subjective particular taste of the paper. The source will automatically be ranked as one find important content while reading it. The rank will be the last column of the table, Sum.
