Automatically populate a "Day" Attribute

[kb5cth]

In a Journal I'm establishing, I'd like to denote day of the week. Much like date and time, is there a way to auto-populate a "day of the week" attribute? Any way of making computed attributes so I could try to populate it myself?

Not as a separate attribute, but you could include the weekday in the custom title for a template item. See the notes on 'Journal item template' toward the end of

and the weekday formatting codes at

Along those lines, is there any way to have the tree sort by date? I told it to sort my journal entries, and now I have all 1s grouped together, all 2s grouped together, etc.

I thought I'd be smart, so I changed the date format to YYYYMMDD (all numeric), but set that way, the title expression wouldn't concatenate any text after the date in this format. No matter what I tried, it only showed the numeric.

I'm tempted to disable the sort alphabetically, export it to excel, sort, then re-import it sorted properly. This seems quite a "work around" for something that ought to be handled straightforward in the software.

**I found reference to various registry hacks to accomplish this, but I use the program in portable mode. Is there a way to simulate those registry changes without modifying the registry of the machine I happen to be using (like my workplace)?

The same setting can be defined in portable mode by adding

SortDateNumericInTree_INT=<value>

to UltraRecall.ini under the Options section.

Are there any other such "tweaks" that mimic the registry changes? If so, where are they listed?

Tweaks that aren't configured via Tools | Options are described at

For the portable version, the numeric and on/off options would have _INT suffixed to the name of the option setting.
