(I was asking about looping through Plone Folders)
You might want to try using the ZCatalog (portal_catalog). Check out the news_slot (portal_skins/plone_templates/ui_slots/news_slot) in Plone for an example. The reason that I suggest the catalog is that you will then be able to sort on any indexed and sortable field. So, if you wanted to add a property to your plone folders called "display_order" (if you do this, consider making your own product/content type with all the custom properties you will want), you could place them as you like. Also, you can only return meta_type "Plone Folder" and that will prevent other unwanteds from showing up.
Actually looked at the navigation slot, it does everything I need for the top level... The only thing remaining is the drop-down elements, I'll need some Javascript code and a way of tying (tieing?) the drop-down elements to the parent menu element. If anyone knows of a CMF/Plone-aware tool, please let me know. -- mitchy
