If I'm not wrong you should do:
1. In the ad_page_contract header add the variable orderby, something like this (orderby:optional)
2. Then add the switch -orderby to your list::create like:
-orderby {
title {n.title asc}
}
3. Finally, in your 'select' query, after 'where n.revision_id = ci.live_revision' add this: [template::list::orderby_clause -name notes -orderby]
At least, something to start with =).
You might find useful to take a look of some examples in .../packages/acs-templating/www/doc/list*
