I tried $sorttool, and it didn't work on XWiki objects.
On
http://velocity.apache.org/tools/devel/javadoc/org/apache/velocity/tools/generic/SortTool.html,
I saw
"The sort method takes two parameters a collection and a property name or
an array of property names. The property names and corresponding methods
must conform to java bean standards since commons-beanutils is used to
extract the property values."
XWiki Objects don't support java bean standards.
I guess they could be extracted by
$obj.getProperty("prop").getProperty().getValue()
The problem now is to figure out the right sort algorithms for sorting
based on multiple properties.
