sort a repeater with content custom

I thought it was possible, so I guess I'm just doing something wrong?

I have a repeater called 'images' (id=images) that contains images and their title/name (id=name). They are in a specific order that I use to display them, but I also want a list on the side in alphabetical order. But that doesn't seem to work...

<?php
    perch_content_custom('collection', array(
        'template'=>'template_collection_list.html',
        'sort'=>'images.name',
        'sort-order'=>'ASC'
    )); 
?>

Template:

<perch:repeater id="images" label="Images" scope-parent="true">
    <perch:before>
        <dt><perch:content type="text" id="parent.title" label="Name collection" required="true" title="true" /></dt>
    </perch:before>

    <dd><a href="#<perch:content id="nameslug" type="slug" for="name" />"><perch:content type="text" id="name" label="Name dress" /></a></dd>
</perch:repeater>

Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

You can't sort items within a repeater.

:-( ok

Would be neat to have that option, though.

Too bad. This is an option that one of my clients want to use. It would be great if this feature will be added in the near future.
