I'm posting this for the benefit of anyone who may be searching the forums with the same problem (i see a couple of old threads asking the same question).

It seems all that was wrong was that i needed to use "s rather than 's.

The following works fine :

<#list theList?sort_by(["properties","smrder_number"]) as child>

I found here
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Template_Guide#Default_Model

that i could get params from the url like this

<#assign keys = args?keys>
<#list keys as arg>      
   ${arg}
</#list>  
‍‍‍‍‍

and thought i could get a param about sorting and pass it into Freemarker sort using

<#list theList?sort_by([${arg}]) as child>‍

But the get args isn't working for me ? any ideas why that is ?
