def Authors():
    AL=db().select(db.Author.ALL, orderby=db.Author.Name)
    TheList=[]
    for Author in AL:
        l=db(db.Book.Author.contains(Author.id)).select(db.Book.ALL, orderby
=db.Book.Name)
        if len(l)>0:
            TheList.append([l[0]])
        else:
            TheList.append([])
    return dict(AL=AL,BookList=TheList)
here is my controller funktion
and my view:
<table>
{{i=0}}
{{for Author in AL:}}
<tr>
    <td>{{=Author.Name}}</td><td></td>
</tr>
    {{for b in BookList[i]:}}
    <tr>
        <td></td><td>{{=b.Name}}</td>
    </tr>
    {{pass}}
    {{i+=1}}
{{pass}}
</table>
its supposed to give an alphabetical list of all authors which it does.
and list all their books (only one is displayed)
