Hello! For quite some time we, the Russian users of DTML (mostly we use DTML, not entire Zope), have a problem with dtml-in sorting. The sort is not locale-aware. The problem is that DT_In.py just calls s.sort(), and this is wrong way for locale-aware sort. For locale-aware one needs to write special comparisonfunction . In the most simple case the call is just s.sort(locale.strcoll). Well, I thought I'd write a patch for DT_In.py that would add another flag to dtml-in, something like <dtml-in seq sort=surname use_locale>, but a colleague of mine, Dennis Otkidach suggested more general approach - to make a patch that will allow to pass a generic function to sort(), something like <dtml-in seq sort=surname sort_func=foobar> where sort_func points to a Python function (like locale.strcoll), or Python Script function, or such. Any opinion? I see a minor problem here - if I want just locale-aware sort, I would write <dtml-in seq sort=surname sort_func=_.locale.strcoll>, but module locale is not available in DTML.
