+### Altering the list
+
+`<% loop %>` statements iterate over a `[api:DataList]` instance. As the
+template has access to the list object, templates can call `[api:DataList]`
+functions. For instance, see the following examples:
+
+Providing a custom sort.
+
+	:::ss
+	<ul>
+		<% loop $Children.Sort(Title) %>
+			<li>$Title</li>
+		<% end_loop %>
+	</ul>
+
+Limiting the number of items displayed.
+
+	:::ss
+	<ul>
+		<% loop $Children.Limit(10) %>
+			<li>$Title</li>
+		<% end_loop %>
+	</ul>
+
+Reversing the loop.
+
+	:::ss
+	<ul>
+		<% loop $Children.Reverse %>
+			<li>$Title</li>
+		<% end_loop %>
+	</ul>
+
+
+The `DataList` class also supports chaining methods. For example, to reverse
+the list and output the last 3 items we would write:
+
+	:::ss
+	<ul>
+		<% loop $Children.Reverse.Limit(3) %>
+			<li>$Title</li>
+		<% end_loop %>
+	</ul>

 ### Modulus and MultipleOf
 
 $Modulus and $MultipleOf can help to build column layouts.
