sort draft list by classname

ok, i found it out now myself.

you need the following extension:
http://ez.no/community/contribs/template_plugins/arraysortoperator

basically you have to

loop through $drafts_list
fill a new array with a string starting with the attribute you want to sort, followed by a separator, followed by the next attribute etc..

now you have a simple array where you can use your sort method.

afterwards turn the array using "explode" back into a assoziative array using "hash".

here is my code:

def $sorted_draft_array=array()}
{foreach $draft_list as $k => $v}

 {set $sorted_draft_array=$sorted_draft_array|append(concat(
 		$v.contentobject.class_name,
 		'--',
 		$v.version_name,
 		'--',
 		$v.contentobject.section_id,
 		'--',
 		$v.version,
 		'--',
 		$v.initial_language.name,
 		'--',
 		$v.modified,
 		'--',
 		$v.contentobject.id,
 		'--',
 		$v.id,
 		'--',
 		$v.contentobject.content_class.identifier,
 		'--',
 		$v.contentobject.content_class.name,
 		'--',
 		$v.initial_language.locale
 		)
 		)}


{/foreach}
{set $sorted_draft_array=$sorted_draft_array|sort('string')}

{def $narr=array()}
{set $draft_list=array()}
{foreach $sorted_draft_array as $itm}
	{set $narr=$itm|explode('--')}
	{set $draft_list=$draft_list|append(
						hash(	
						'contentobject',
										hash(
												'class_name'	,$narr.0,
												'section_id'	,$narr.2,
												'id'			,$narr.6,
												'content_class'	,hash(
																		'identifier',$narr.8,
																		'name',$narr.9
																		),
											),
						'version_name',$narr.1,
						
						'version',$narr.3,
						'initial_language',hash(
												'name',$narr.4,
												'locale',$narr.10
												),
						'modified',$narr.5,
						'id',$narr.7
						)
									)
	}
	
{/foreach}

i hope it helps!
