Possible to sort text within a single document using tag or tags?

[Albus]

Hi everyone! Hope you’re well!

What I’m trying to do

I’m trying to sort blocks of text according to the assigned tag or tags - in other words, sort the information within a single document using tags. I’m writing a bullet point outline with blocks of text per each bullet point (let’s call these items). I’ve assigned a specific tag to each block of text (item), sometimes multiple tags. I want to sort the items based on their assigned tag or tags and see them in the correct order.

If you look at the attached images, I’ve provided a demonstration of this using the app Things 3. In this example, I want to see the correlation between the tags #Patented-Technology and #Albus-Frankenstein.

Things I have tried

I’ve watched a bunch of tutorials on how to search for tags on YouTube, read Obsidian’s own help page on tags, and read a bunch of forum threads on the topic of tags, but no matter what I try I can only manage to find files that includes the tags I search for. I’ve not found a way to sort the information within a single document using tags.

Any idea whether this is possible or not? Is there a plugin that can do this?

Something along these lines with Dataview?

How to call a list of bullets where they are tagged in-line?

Does this work as you need? # Meeting notes tags - Item 1 - Point 1 - To be or not to be, that is the #question - Point 3 - Item 2 - To think is the #action - Item 3 - Point 1 - Sub-point a - To go to the beach is the #decision - Point 2 ## query ```dataview LIST WITHOUT ID L.text WHERE file.name =this.file.name FLATTEN file.lists as L WHERE contains(L.tags, "#") ``` [image]

Yes, something like that! Thank you! In the example you linked to they use Dataview to view every item in a document assigned with a tag. That’s a great start!

Now I need to figure out if there’s a way to search specific tags and combinations of tags using Dataview! Is this forum a suitable place to ask for specific instructions on how to search for tags like that or are there better places? I’ll read up on it as much as I can but it seems like quite a steep learning curve
