Sorting <#list> by name

I've got a annoying issue I've not been able to solve for the life of me. In one of our FreeMarker .ftl template files, there exists a <#list><#list dom.DocumentList.Document as doc> <table width="100%" class="form"> <tr> <td width="90%">${d

Did you try ?sort_by('name') ?

I've tried that one already, and get a "?sort_by(…) failed: Values used for sorting must be numbers, strings, or date/time values" (followed by the standard issue stack trace) in the log file.
There must be something simple I'm overlooking.

Hmm… looking back at your code, I'm not sure what objects are in your dom.DocumentList.Document sequence.

However, you seem to be accessing doc.DocumentName so ?sort_by('DocumentName') should be a winner.

Good sir, you just made my day. That worked. I'm quite annoyed at myself, as I'd tried everything, BUT that one. Thank you very much.
