[Zope] sorting a table

[Gilles Lenfant]

MySQL, as most SQL engines has sort capabilities. I use this feature in ZSQL
method like this:

Parameters :
order mode

ZSQL script:
select field1, field2, field3 from mytable where (...) order by <dtml-var
order> <dtml-var mode>

Pass as strings to this ZSQL method :
order : either 'field1', 'field2', 'field3'
mode: 'ascending' or 'descending'

The syntax may depend on your db engine.
