Checking the docs:

  <http://cvs.zope.org/Packages/DocumentTemplate/DT_In.py?rev=1.57&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup>

shows the following:

  Attributes

      sort -- Define the sort order for sequence items.  Parameter to the
      attribute is either a sort option, or list of sort options separated
      by comma.  Every sort option consists of variable name, optional
      comparison function name (default is cmp) and optional sort order
      (default is asc).
          Examples: sort="date" or sort="date,time" or
      sort="title/locale,date/cmp/desc". If you want to specify sort order,
      you cannot omit the function; use cmp for standard comparison.
