Any Ideas? Or do I have to rewrite the complete show_table to "show_table_sort_title"-stuff and call each seperately? There nust be a more Zopish thing to get that working.

One way is to produce a separate method for each sort key and factor out the body of the loop into a separate method: So show_table_sort_title becomes: <dtml-in "objectValues('type') sort=title> <dtml-var show_table_body> </dtml-in> One nice feature with this is that you can have a show_table_body method for the default display, but override it as necessary. If your data was in a database, the best way is to sort the database query. However, since it isn't, you may end up having to do something like the code below (this is a complete runnable example): <dtml-unless sortkey><dtml-call "REQUEST.set('sortkey', 'bobobase_modification_time')"></dtml-unless> <table> <dtml-let list="[]"> <dtml-in "objectValues(['DTML Document', 'DTML Method'])"> <dtml-let item="_.getitem('sequence-item', 0)" key="_[sortkey]"> <dtml-call "list.append((key,item))"> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> <dtml-call "list.sort()"> <dtml-if reverse><dtml-call "list.reverse()"></dtml-if> <dtml-in list> <tr><td><dtml-var title></td> <td><dtml-var bobobase_modification_time fmt="%Y/%m/%d"></td></tr> </dtml-in> </dtml-let> </table> The steps performed above are: 1. Set up default sort key. 2. Copy the list into a fresh list containing tuples with the desired key as element 0 and the original item as element 1. You can make this step more complicated, for example lowercasing the key if you want a case insensitive sort. 3. Sort the new list and optionally reverse it. If you never want to reverse the sort, leave out these two lines and change <dtml-in list> to <dtml-in list sort> 4. Insert your table body here. -- Duncan Booth duncan@dales.rmplc.co.uk int month(char *p){return(124864/((p[0]+p[1]-p[2]&0x1f)+1)%12)["\5\x8\3" "\6\7\xb\1\x9\xa\2\0\4"];} // Who said my code was obscure? http://dales.rmplc.co.uk/Duncan
