that is a highly useful article that you link to there. I was able to achieve exactly what I wanted.
Actually I dropped the idea of using EL completely and by-passed the need for an extra attribute by calling to the parent ForEachTag direct to obtain its base class LoopTag via findAncestorWithClass().
From the LoopTag I could obtain the LoopTagStatus object via the getLoopStatus() method.
From the status object, I called its getCount() and hey presto, it was sorted.
It seems that implementing EL will be a breeze if you can use JSP 2.0, but I have no idea whether that is released yet, or even which version I'm on at the moment. How does one tell?
I'm unsure what is going to happen. At the moment, J2EE 1.4 is in beta. I can see that it includes javax.servlet.jsp.el package, but it doesn't have javax.servlet.jsp.jstl. Do you know. or anyone for that matter, what the situation is? Does J2EE 1.4 include JSP2.0? Is JSTL part of JSP2.0?
Thanks v. much,
Adam

Yes, something like that. Take a look in this past message:
