This is probably obvious but, I cannot reach to a solution.
I want to print a list of blogs and sort it, for instance:
<mt:Blogs include_blogs="children" unique="1" sort_order="descend"> <li> <a href="<$mt:BlogURL$>"> <mt:Authors lastn="1" sort_by="created_on" sort_order="descend"> <img src="<mt:AuthorUserpicAsset><$mt:AssetThumbnailURL width="50" square="1"$></mt:AuthorUserpicAsset>" class="article_thumb" /> <p class="article_title"><$mt:AuthorDisplayName$></p> <p class="article_blog"><$mt:BlogName$> - <$mt:BlogDescription$></p> </mt:Authors> </a> </li> </mt:Blogs> ​
anyone can help me here? is it possible?

Hi Benjamin,
You could pass the blogs to a loop and then sort the loop.
More details about the loop syntax are at:

Could you please describe your need a little more precisely? You want a list of ALL blogs in your MT installation, or a list of the blogs contained within one website? You want them sorted according to what metric exactly? Your example isn't clear, especially with the nesting of blogs metadata within an AUTHORS block itself within a BLOGS block, plus we don't know where this template is being executed (within a site? a blog?). One learning curve of MT is understanding the various contexts in which tags are executed, and here we're missing information.
Also, unique=1 within your BLOGS block isn't going to do anything. Check http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/appendices/tags/blogs.html for the valid attributes.
