No. See below for a reply that Shawn sent a few months
ago on a similar question.

JSTL's <x:forEach> tag always uses the order of the node-set returned from
the XPath 'select' attribute. JSTL's <c:forEach> always returns the items
in collection order. In JSTL 1.0, there isn't a way to modify this
behavior. The best thing to do is to sort the collection or node-set
outside of your JSP page (e.g., in a servlet) and then expose the sorted
collection to your page.
