Hmmm, I have to search my Python intro what lambda is, but it works as
expected:

	list = context.objectValues('ExtFile')
	list.sort(lambda x,y : cmp(y.getId(), x.getId()))

	for file in list:
	    print file.id, file.title

	return printed

is absolutely fine.

Just for the sake of interest: What do you mean with "normal function"?

Many thanks for the very quick answer!!!!

Kind regards
