hi, a page is called via links like

1.) myPage.html?sortkey=Date 2.) myPage.html?sortkey=Name

the value of sortkey is display properly with <dtml-var sortkey>

i like to use the value of sortkey within the <dtml-in> -tag, like

<dtml-in expr="objectItems(['DTML Document'])" sort=_['sortkey']>

but that is not working...

the tags <dtml-in expr="objectItems(['DTML Document'])" sort=Date> <dtml-in expr="objectItems(['DTML Document'])" sort=Name> are doing fine, but that's not a solution for my prop.

please help

thanks in advance cheers, Markus

hi marcus, have a look at the dtml-in-help-topic! sort_expr=expression should do the job. Sorts the sequence by an attribute named by the value of the expression. This allows you to sort on different attributes. use something like: sort_expr="_['sortkey']" cheers, maik -- Maik Jablonski __o www.zfl.uni-bielefeld.de _ \<_ Deutsche Zope User Group Bielefeld, Germany (_)/(_) www.dzug.org
