How to sort replicant?

waikong

I have a replicate container in DCT called "attachment".

Underneath it got "title", "filename", "filetype", "description" items.

The "title" item is a textbox input field.

My requirement is alphabetically sort the attachments based on title, and generate into the output file.

Is there any solution to sort the replicate list?

if you write your TPL in perl, you could get the replicant as a list. If you have troubles with using the templating API, you could iterate over the replicant and push all its values to an array structure. E.g., your array will look like

( [title,filename,filetype,description], ... ).

And then, use stanard perl sorting techniques.
