If you choose the template to add multiple items it shows up in both. My problem is to add multiple google maps in a page all the items have to have unique id numbers. Is there a way as in php to say the next item is i+ an iteration and then a way to alphabetize within the template itself so items are show in alphabetical order with unique ids for each grouping.
I'm afraid I don't understand what functionality you are talking about. Can you explain where this was?

You can sort a region alphabetically on a given field. That's in the region options.
