{% comment %} For sorting, we have lots of options, but we're just going to start by sorting by the person with the most recent quote. If the person has multiple quotes, all of them will be shown alongside the most recent one. This is a PITA in Liquid templates but it is doable, as you can see below... {% endcomment %}

{% capture datesandpeople %} {%- for person in site.data.quotes -%} {%- for quote in person.quotes -%} {{ quote.date }} {{person.name}} , {%-endfor-%} {%-endfor-%} {% endcapture%}

{% assign datesandpeople = datesandpeople | split: "," | sort |reverse %}

{% comment %} Now cut the sorted dates off the list (hacky) {% endcomment %} {% capture people %} {%-for dp in datesandpeople-%} {{ dp | slice: 10,80 | strip}}, {%-endfor-%} {% endcapture %}

{% assign names = people | split: "," | uniq %} {% for name in names %} {% assign person = site.data.quotes | where: "name", name | first%} {% assign quotes = person.quotes %}

{{ person.name }} §
