Sorting headed lists

[Jean Marc Azerad]

Thanks Bruno and Brian,

This is the kind of solution I was trying to avoid because I'm dealing with many columns, not just one, and the pre-processing is complexe while I do have and can see the result just on my screen! But can't get it! 
Frustrating...

Thanks again

JM

> I agree with Bruno - when my headed-list display gets “too tricky” I set up additional columns in the underlying list variable. These “display columns” can even include style() info for special formatting, etc. I don’t know of any way to access the “$contents” of a displayed column in a headed list comparable to the $contents of an entry field, so I think the pre-processing in parallel list columns is the best approach.
