is it possible to SORT the results of a jet xpath select ? [message #43345]

In my template I iterate over a set of elements
<c:iterate select="$currFile/foo/bar/element" var="element">

It lately turned out that these elements may not be in the oder I need
for processing, I'd need them sorted by the value of an attribute.

I'd be happy if the select statement supported "some sort" ;-) of
sorting syntax.
alternatively, could the template sort the dom first and then start the
iteration?

cheers

Edoardo:

There are no out-of-the box functions to sort. A function sort function may
be in order. Something like:

<c:iterate select="sort( my XPath, a-sort-key-expression)" var="...">

could be useful.

It is certainly possible for you to create something like this yourself, but
it would also be useful to the community at large.

Why not start by creating an enhancement bugzilla, and we can
discuss/develop an appropriate solution that will eventually land back in
JET?
