It's very, very... great news that Ross Lazarus's multikey sort patch for dtml-in tag is included in current Zope CVS and will be included in Zope 2.2.

<dtml in "foo" sort=akey,anotherkey>

But for me one important thing is very missed. Possibillity of use expression syntax for sort= attribute.

Maybe syntax: <dtml in "foo" sort="expression_which_returns_sort_keys_string"> would be possible ?

eg. <dtml in "foo" sort="fun()"> where fun() will returns appropriate Python string eq. 'firstname,surname,height, width,weight' :)

It wouldn't be very difficult to do, but I wonder whether you (Adam) may have developed such a patch already? It would sure speed along the process. Shane
