Add keep_in_order_freeformtags:true to AO3 #911

Closed chocolatechipcats closed 1 year ago

chocolatechipcats commented 1 year ago

Added keep_in_order_freeformtags:true to defaults.ini to preserve the order of freeform tags on AO3. Authors sometimes use them in a specific order to make comments on the story.

The added comment may be a bit clumsy; feel free to change it if needed.

I'm not inclined to accept this as a default. First, I consider it an abuse of the tagging system when authors do that.

Second, by default, freeformtags isn't used directly; it's only included in genre which will still be alphabetized. Which by default goes into Calibre's Tag field, and is also alphabetized. So adding this to defaults doesn't change anything for users who haven't customized settings anyway.

I will accept a commented out version of this setting for users to copy, if additional comment text is added about using freeformtags with titlepage_entries and/or custom_columns_settings with a note about using 'Text' type column and not 'Comma separated text' (again, alphabetized automatically) so users don't expect keep_in_order_freeformtags:true to be reflected in genre or Calibre's Tags.

Also, calibre-plugin/plugin-defaults.ini and fanficfare/defaults.ini need to be kept in sync.
