I am not sure if I use it correctly, but

(:pagelist order=$:State fmt=#test begin=CA end=TX:)

does not return any page. In template, I just replaced hardcoded
values with {$$begin} and {$$end}.

[[#test]]
(:if ( ge {{=$FullName}$:State} {$$begin} ) && ( lt
{{=$FullName}$:State} {$$end} ) :)
* {{=$FullName}$:State}
(:ifend:)
[[#testend]]
