[Zope] Sorting and accessing elements in the

[Andy McKay]

You need to let item=sequence-item since sequence-item is interpreted in
python as a mathemtical operation sequence minus item.

<dtml-var standard_html_header>

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('keys', REQUEST.form.keys())">
<dtml-call "keys.sort()">

<dtml-in keys>
    <dtml-let item=sequence-item><dtml-var item>:
    <dtml-var "REQUEST.form[item]">
    </dtml-let>
</dtml-in>
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>
