The reason this doesn't work as written is because the .sort()
method works in-place and does not return a value.  Also,
sort needs a function that does the comparison. You
want:

values = self.objectItems('Folder')
values.sort(lambda a,b: cmp(a[0],b[0])
for i in values:
     # do stuff
     pass

Cheers,
Terry
