The ''each'' filter operator filters the current list to leave only the first tiddler with each distinct value for a specified field.

For example:

|!Filter String |!Description |
|`[all[tiddlers]sort[title]each[type]]` |Returns a list of the first tiddler with each distinct ''type'' field |

The ''each'' operator can be used to group tiddlers. For example, the following example creates a list of tiddlers split into types:

<$list filter="[!is[system]has[type]!type[text/vnd.tiddlywiki]each[type]sort[type]]">
<div>

! <$view field="type"/>
<$list filter="[type{!!type}!is[system]sort[title]]">
<div>
<$link to={{!!title}}><$view field="title"/></$link>
</div>
</$list>
</div>
</$list>
