Thanks a lot, I got it working now!
Just in case someone runs into the same problems sometime I want to post 
the code I use now.

----------
<dtml-call expr="REQUEST.set ('working_folder', gallery_id)">
  <dtml-with expr="galleries.restrictedTraverse([working_folder])">
    <dtml-in expr="objectValues('Image')" sort=bobobase_modification_time 
reverse>
         <dtml-var title><BR>
   </dtml-in>
  </dtml-with>
------------

Maybe this will provide help to someone else in the future

Now, one last question (Well, maybe not THE LAST ;-) ): Where the heck can 
one find stuff like that? I mean where can I learn that?
Is that Python already and I should finally open up my Python book?

Again, many thanks,

Jan
