1. Will dtml-in always iterate over the rows display_news returns in order?
It will iterate over the list in the order it received it. If your wuery returns them in order, they will be displayed in order.
2. If so, is there a way for dtml-in to reverse the sort order?
Yes, just add the 'reverse' attribute to your in tag: <dtml-in display_news sort=date reverse> <a href="<dtml-var url>"><dtml-var headline></a><br> <dtml-var date> <br><br> </dtml-in>
3. If so, is it more efficient to let Zope or MySQL sort the data?
Depends on the length of the returned set, but if you indexed your tables properly, the DB will be faster. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
