-------------------------------------
Summary: ?sort_by to accept Iterable
Key: FREEMARKER-62
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-62
Project: Apache Freemarker
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: engine
Affects Versions: 2.3.26-incubating
Reporter: Ondra Žižka
Priority: Minor
Currently, {{?sort_by()}} only accepts a {{List}}.
It's not complicated to create an {{iteratorToList() FreemarkerMethod}}, though.
So this is a suggestion to make {{?sort_by}} accept an {{Iterable}}, and if it
detects it was called for Iterable and not a List, it would create the sorted
list. It could use heapsort maybe.
