See the "FileLibrary" example, probably located at: http://localhost:8080/Examples/FileLibrary It's not obvious how it does its multi-column sorting unless you study it quite a bit, though, so keep reading until it makes sense. Go through the ZMI and look at the "getFiles" script (and others).

I presume that under normal circumstances that sequence would be in alphabetical order of object ID.

That's not a presumption I'd make at all, but not unlikely.

The standard folder lists its contents in "unspecified" order. In practice, it's in order of creation (I think.) You can get ordered folders, which support changing the order. In fact, one ships with Zope in recent versions. Look for "Folder (Ordered)". What I did before ordered folders was to give each object a property (like 'sort_order') with an integer value designating it's place, and then sort the list on that property. Not terribly efficient, though using the catalog would help. --jcc -- "Building Websites with Plone" http://plonebook.packtpub.com/ Enfold Systems, LLC http://www.enfoldsystems.com
