OK, your right but I'm still having problems...

How would I test presence of "sorted" and non-sorted sql results in a
template ? 

I've got that:

<a tal:attributes="href python: here.pass_sorted(variable='status', mode='asc')">

where pass_sorted is anothr ZSQL method that takes additional
parameters.

Is there a simple way to re-render my template after testing "results" ?
