Sorting elements before jx:forEach ?

[Laurent Perez <ha...@gmail.com>]

Hello

Is it possible to directly sort elements (say, by some random bean
property) within the JXTemplate itself before looping over an
ArrayList received from a flowscript with <jx:forEach>, or is the best
practice to sort them before they reach the JXTemplate ? And if so,
how would you sort them within a flowscript ?

Thanks for any advice

Hi Laurent

You can use the java.util.Collections class to sort a list using either the
natural ordering of the elements or by supplying a Comparator.  You just
need to import these classes into your flowscript to use them.

Cheers
