Logic Tags
Tag sort

This tag allows you sort data collections stored in memory as XPArrayLists. The property attribute will be used to construct the sorted list. If the property doesn't exist for certain entries in the list, those entries will then be ordered at the end of the list in alphabetical order based on their name.

This tag does not display the contents of the tag and should only be used as a singleton tag (i.e. <pt:logic.sort/>), rather than as a tag with both an open and close tag.
