in reply to Reverse sort order in FOREACH in Template Toolkit

I do not think it exists in TT (nor in Perl for that matter), but to avoid the "double maintenance" you could either put the "output something" part in a subroutine (MACRO in TT) or write your own variable_sort_order virtual method.

BTW, you can call sort directly on a hash without using the keys virtual method. TT is bright enough to know you want to sort the keys.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
