Yes, the names are coming from a from where I can sort the folders for
showing in the desired order.  I know that I can use a list with a SELECTION
tag. But will get only the selected options and I need all the options in the
ordered sequence. Of course I could select programmatically all options before
returning the form and then I could work the list.
But how can I pass the objects instead of the string?
