pws:categorize

pws:categorize

This tag uses the category attributes in the repository XML definition file to sort the property descriptors for each property defined in the given repository. If you have access to the RepositoryItem itself, use the repositoryItem and itemDescriptor attributes. Otherwise, you need to specify the repositoryPath and itemDescriptorName attributes.

After the tag is executed, the property descriptors are stored in an array result object named by the var attribute. The result object has properties that other tags can access.
