<untested>
<dtml-in expr=3D"_['dot.kde.org'](sort_on=3D'date',sort_order=3D'reverse'=
)" size=3D40>

or in script python
#id=3Dget_dot
o=3Dgetattr(context,'dot.kde.org')
return o(sort_on=3D'date',sort_order=3D'reverse')[:40]

so that in your dtml, you'd do
<dtml-in expr=3D"get_dot">

</untested>
hope it works so that it can be hth :P
