You can solve this problem using a recordset within ASP:
All you need to do is add the page items in your list into the
recordset, sort the recordset manually, then output the contents of
the recordset on the page.
on error resume next
Set rsReleases = server.createobject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsReleases.fields.append "Date", 200, 50
rsReleases.fields.append "Time", 200, 50
rsReleases.fields.append "Title", 200, 1000
rsReleases.fields.append "Link", 200, 4000
rsReleases.open
<!IoRangeList>
<%
rsReleases.AddNew
rsReleases("Date") = "<
%stf_releaseDate%>"
rsReleases("Time") = "<
%stf_releaseTime%>"
rsReleases("Title") = "<
%hdl_pagetitle%>"
rsReleases("Link") = "<
%list_releases%>"
rsReleases.Update
%>
<!/IoRangeList>
rsReleases.Sort = "Date, Time DESC"
do until rsReleases.EOF
response.write rsReleases("Date") .....
etc etc
rsReleases.movenext
loop
Its also worth noting that this approach will also sort all pages in
your list that have not yet been released within your workflow. RedDot
wont sort pages in a list (in SmartEdit mode) unless the page has been
released... which can be confusing for users!!!
