Ausum, It may be time to re-think your site structure. I have a news type site as well and here is how I handle it (my way... not saying it is by any means the best or right way). Instead of storing your news items in a series of folderish objects, maybe create folders for each section and then create a news item ZClass with the article date or goLiveDate as the ID. zopesite:8080/sports/2000.10.17/newsobjectid_htm Then do some dtml to pull out the ones you want on the main "sport/thislist_htm" page. Better yet use ZCatalog to search for the range of news items you want to appear in the list. Hope this helps!!
