when using: <!--#in obj sort='name'--> How can one filter the 'name' list prior to sorting? For example, to lower(case) the values, but I am looking for a more general solution.

Have you considered using ComputedAttribute?

Yes, but I was under the impression that they were only available in Tabula. As soon as we figure out how, they are going to be available in TinyTables due to their usefulness. I have done this as an External Method, but I couldn't figure out how to provide a general solution using External Methods. How do you tell your filter what to operate on without being specific? As usual, I'm lost here and probably sitting on the compass... Kent

The argument given to sort could be a method name: <!--#in obj sort=nameLower--> def nameLower(self): return lower(name) or a computed attribute, as Phillip suggested.
