Where a tiddler's [[content is JSON|JSONTiddlers]] with an array as its root, the <<.op indexes>> operator retrieves a selection of integer indices instead.
Note that behind the scenes, the name/value pairs in a dictionary tiddler are represented as a [[JSON object|JSONTiddlers]]. JSON objects do not maintain a guaranteed ordering and so we can’t reliably retain the ordering of the data in the file.
Where the content of a tiddler is in JSON format with an array as its root, the <<.op indexes>> operator retrieves a selection of integer indices instead.
