 Status: Pending => Rejected

>From the docs:

"""
sort=string
   Sorts the branches by the named attribute.
"""

When there is no such attribute then you can not sort by 
this attribute. So this behaviour is more logical than
implicitly using another sorting order.

Take this Tree example:

<dtml-tree Content single="true" branches_expr="objectValues('Folder')" sort="displayorder">
  <dtml-if "meta_type=='Folder'">
    <a href="<dtml-var BASE0><dtml-var "Content.rootpath"><dtml-var tree-item-url>" target="main">
     <dtml-var title_or_id></a>  
  <dtml-else>
  </dtml-if>
</dtml-tree>

If the property 'displayorder' is missing, objects are sorted randomly each time tree is loaded. Perhaps a default alphabetic sort?
