Another sorting filter?

Would it be possible to include a Sort-by-Tag color? Or add a filter that "show only boxes without tags"? As one who likes to read as many clues as possible (and organize them), I would rather mark a clue than to completely ignore it. As I started planning my upcoming trip, I had read a lot of clues, and to decrease the clutter to the area search I ignored some boxes. After solving some clues, there were some references I remembered reading in clues I had ignored. I went back and unignored some boxes because now there was more reason to find them (worthwhile to be in the same area).

I'm not really sure how that would work since you can have multiple tags on the same box. If a box had a red and green tag, does it get sorted with the red tags? And which comes first? Red or green? Green comes first alphabetically, but red comes first in a rainbow. But I'm not using rainbow colors, though, but it does come first in the list of tags so same difference. Or should it be filed as yellow since red + green = yellow on computer monitors. ;o)

Or add a filter that "show only boxes without tags"?

That option is already available as an advanced search. Click all of the tag colors, and the "not" option, and the "and" option. This tells AQ to return all boxes that are not yellow and not blue and not red, etc, etc.

You'd probably want to save that as a favorite search if you do it regularly, though. =)

Just wanted to say that I love the little tags for the trackers. The leaf and the turtle are adorable! I actually went back and made sure everything was tagged just so I see all the cute little tags on everything. Yes, I know, I am easily amused. ;>Thanks for making ME happy!

I DID IT!! I finally figured out the right combination. I unignored all my home state boxes and tagged them "red"; filtered out my finds, attempts, plants; did the "not red" and was surprised there were some without tags. Sorted by date planted, and quickly Saved the search. Now I don't have to get email notifications when a new box pops up. I can check at my leisure and be confident I am not missing anything.

Thanks again!

Aha! I found them. Learned some new things the last couple of days.
