[Zope] Dynamic sorting key?

[Steve Spicklemire]

This is (mostly) the point if Zieve:

http://www.zope.org/Members/sspickle/Zieve

the good news is it's much more powerful
than 'sort='. The bad news is it's much more complex
than 'sort='. It also (currently) uses a cookie
for each Zieve instance. I'd love any feedback on
making this product more useful/friendly.
