[Zope] Choice of the sorting key of a dtml-in tag

[Jean Lagarde]

Andreas,

Hmm, well it seems to work for me! After looking at the code, I tried to
pass the dynamic sort keys to sort_expr as a string, e.g.
'sortKey1,sortKey2,sortKey3', and that seems to do the trick.

Too scared to make the jump to 2.4 yet. How stable is it?

Cheers,

Jean
