That did it! Thank you! I have very few compelling reasons to change to ZPT at this point, and it would actually be a small disaster to attempt it. I have 6 very large reporting sites built entirely on DTML that have been running for over 2 years now that way. It would be a major undertaking to overhaul them to ZPT, not to mention the fact that there would be a learning curve while I was trying to figure out how to get all of what I had working to work with templates. The other issue is that neither myself, nor our web designer uses a GUI page builder. He hand codes everything right through the Zope interface, as do I. I've learned to keep the business logic well seperated from the design elements, so I really don't have a strong reason to jump, especially since I'm so comfortable with DTML. Thanks for your help, Rick Stefan H. Holek wrote:
According to the documentation* what you want is 'sort_expr='. I do however recommend you stop using DTML alltogether.

Is there a way to do a dynamic sort= on a dtml-in on a list of dictionaries?
like:
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('sortby', 'firstname')">
<dtml-in "queryname_py" mapped sort=_['sortby']> etc...
