dojox/dtl/filter/lists (version 1.10)

Takes a list of dicts, returns that list sorted by the property given in the argument.

Takes a list of dicts, returns that list sorted in reverse order by the property given in the argument.

Returns the first item in a list

Joins a list with a string, like Python's str.join(list)

Django throws a compile error, but JS can't do arg checks so we're left with run time errors, which aren't wise for something as trivial here as an empty arg.

Returns the length of the value - useful for lists

Returns a boolean of whether the value's length is the argument

Returns a random item from the list

Returns a slice of the list.

Uses the same syntax as Python's list slicing; see http://www.diveintopython.net/native_data_types/lists.html#odbchelper.list.slice for an introduction. Also uses the optional third value to denote every X item.

Recursively takes a self-nested list and returns an HTML unordered list -- WITHOUT opening and closing <ul> tags.

The list is assumed to be in the proper format. For example, if var contains ['States', [['Kansas', [['Lawrence', []], ['Topeka', []]]], ['Illinois', []]]], then {{ var|unordered_list }} would return::

<li>States
<ul>
    <li>Kansas
    <ul>
        <li>Lawrence</li>
        <li>Topeka</li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Illinois</li>
</ul>
</li>
