This is what indexFormat is doing. As you have seen, this doesn't work exactly the way you would like because it was designed for a different purpose.

I am not sure what you mean by "performance index." I gave this example because you asked for an indexFormat example where combining multiple values of the same tag is useful.

Quote:Besides the specific case that I mentioned in the thread of the first post, it does not work well either in the more general case of works that are part of a group: in this case we get a value concatenating all the works in the group: very annoying

See my first comment above.
