Michael, Since it's already done through the TreeMap and TreeSet collection classes, I don't think it's necessary to implement it again in the logic:iterate tag. If you want to access members of a collection in a sorted order, then use the TreeMap or TreeSet as the collection and invoke the sort() method on it before using the iterate tag.
