Hi, I have few questions regarding Freemarker usage. There are many places where we duplicate the functionality already available in Freemarker. I wonder if it's necessary, as it makes the code less readable. 1) For example, sometimes the iterable needs to become a collection. And then needs to be sorted. We have this: <#list sortFilesByPathAscending(projectModel.fileModelsNoDirectories) as fileModel> <@fileModelRenderer fileModel/> </#list> sortFilesByPathAscending() is a FM function created just for this one single case (or there's a second one). Wouldn't it be better to just make projectModel.fileModelsNoDirectories a collection using some toList(projectModel.fileModelsNoDirectories) and sort it in FM? Did something prevent this kind of usage? <#list toList(projectModel.fileModelsNoDirectories)?sort_by("filePath") as fileModel> Or, better, having it sorted right in the database, which is probably better place to do so as it may have indexes available for it? 2) iterableHasContent(...) - again, wouldn't it be better, instead of <#if iterableHasContent(projectModel.fileModelsNoDirectories)> ... <#list sortFilesByPathAscending(projectModel.fileModelsNoDirectories) as fileModel> to do <#assign myList = toList(projectModel.fileModelsNoDirectories) <#if myList?has_content> <#list myList?sort_by("filePath") as fileModel> The only addition of iterableHasContent() is that it measures the time for the function call. Is that the reason for it? Just asking. Ondra
