Hi,
I want to sort array of ez content objects by the object name. The problem is that I'm not getting them with a fetch which would sort them properly because I need to create custom array that contain some ez content object.

Does anyone know a good solution?

You can create a new hash array and sort it afterwards using an extension:

...untested...

{def $new_array = array()} 
{foreach $children as $child}
		{set $new_array=$new_array|append(hash('name',$child.name,'ezobject',$child))}
{/foreach}

{set $new_array=$new_array|sort}

{def $new_array = array()}
