Dear List,

the NFGnav-product and most navigator solutions that I know (including =
my own ones) loop over the content of  folders on every page-hit. If =
there are several additional dynamic navigation-elements like =
dropdown-lists, breadcrumb-navigators etc. there is a lot of =
timeconsuming looping for every page-hit. With a sorting-feature it will =
be even worse.=20

Wouldn=B4t it be better i.e. faster to store the sorted-content of the =
folder in a list-property that changes whenever a document or folder is =
added to that special nav-folder so that different nav-methods can =
collect the same static content-info?=20

May be someone uses this kind of nav-folder already?

Does anybody have some comments or hints about that?

Thanks a lot,

Elena
