I feel your words like the neverending discussion between windoze and 
unixes ......my opinion is that if you want to do powerful things  you 
need , or you have to develop, powerful stuff. Personally i come from 
the database world where things like sorting are very important. And 
where is the complexity? If you don't need that feature, simply don't 
use it. If with your words you mean the complexity of the code, i'm sure 
that most people said "zope is too complex" when the accompainig 
documentation was too old to be useful and when the source code wasn't 
commented a lot ...but it's one issue for many open source projects, not 
only for zope...I don't think other projects stops introducing new 
features in that situation, especially when they are really useful as 
the Oleg's one

I think that's  more difficult to find an application where a powerful 
sort doesn't help. :-)

I'm sorry for my bad english.
