Re: Some questions about file handling + some other things

Hi Nagy:

Sorry for the late reply. I was not feeling well yesterday.

Actually you should't do that. Right now only the sorting of the items
in a multlink are messed up. If you were to have an index page for the
items integer order (soted by the database) would work fine if you
sorted by document.

It's only if you use sorting in python (e.g the subsort on a
multilink) that it's broken.  I think we have properly identified the
cause. We should be able to develop a fix for it that should apply
cleanly to 2.0.0. Ralf do you agree?

I'll try to work on it this weekend if I am feeling better. Ralf if
you want to try to fix/test this beofre i can get to it feel free. I
don't think there is a ticket for it.
