1461	[patch] regroup tag doesn't resolve grouper variable	Russell Cloran <russell@…>	Adrian Holovaty	"Hi,

I'm not sure if this will be seen as a defect, but it certainly is irritating me :)

When regroup'ing, eg:

{{{
{% regroup object_list|dictsort:groupby by groupby as grouped %}
}}}

The variable {{{groupby}}} is resolved in the filter, but not in the ""by"" clause of the regroup tag. This means that it is impossible to group by a value learned at runtime.

Patch attached which fixes the problem... Grouping by a predetermined string would now be done like this:

{{{
{% regroup object_list|dictsort:groupby by ""foo"" as grouped %}
}}}

NOTE: This changes the specification of the regroup tag.

(PS, I'm using magic-removal)
