A "sort function" would be cool, by which writingML items were put in alphabetical order when rendered into HTML.

I've been doing it manually on my "Invalid Item"  (check the "by genre" dropdown for examples) and it's a pain! lol


This would be of use to anyone maintaining lists on WdC - of entries, of contests, of participants - really, lists of anything that would benefit by being listed alphabetically.


I imagine something like:{sort}{item}..writingML..{/item}{item}...writingML...{/item}....{/sort}, where the individual items get put into alphabetical order in the rendered HTML.


Ideally, this would be as easy as dumping their rendered HTML into an array and passing them through java's array.sort(sortFunc()) function - I guess the tricky bit would be writing a sortFunc() that would order things properly.
