[TYPO3-mvc] sorting the values of a for-loop

[Christian Kartnig]

Hi!

Another possibility is to set the sorting via TCA. But you are 
restricted to one column and 'ASC' is hardcoded for the sorting.
(Tim Schoch posted a hack to overcome this in this list, see: "Sorting 
of StorageObject's with extended foreign_sortby field")

I also used custom repository methods, but it's not satisfying either, 
because if I have to write a custom method everytime I need sorting, all 
the getters don't quite make sense anymore...

It would be so nice if Extbase respected the defaultOrderings also in 
getters...

Best regards,
Christian
