That makes sense.  I bet you're right. I wonder if 'sort' could be a no-op method for 
a scalar to handle this case.

You're probably right.  However, this means that there has to be some constraint on 
how classes are defined in order for them to be used from TT.  I think one of the most 
powerful features of TT is that any old perl object can be queried from the template 
for display.

Thanks for your response!
