Hello,=20

Since I wanted to have only the 5 last entries of a folder containing
news, i did this little script and used it in a ZPT :

sorted_lst =3D sequence.sort(lst, (('date', 'cmp', 'desc'),
                                 ('titre', 'nocase', 'asc')))

if len(sorted_lst) <=3D 5 : return sorted_lst
else : return sorted_lst[0:5]

It works well, I've got what I want ...

But I wonder why should I use sorted_lst[0:5] to have 5 elements since
there is in fact 6 elements in it ?? I suppose sorted_lst[0] is some
kind of a dummy element to stock some informations ... Am I right ?
