TYPO3 Core

If I add custom records to the page module with $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF']['cms']['db_layout']['addTables'] sorting is not possible.

the makeOrdinaryList function makes a call to $this->fwd_rwd_nav() but I dont get the Logic behind it, as it always return an array with two elements (0=>1, 1=>0)

        while ($row = $this->getDatabase()->sql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
            BackendUtility::workspaceOL($table, $row);
            if (is_array($row)) {
                *list($flag, $code) = $this->fwd_rwd_nav();
                $out .= $code;*
                if ($flag) {
                    $params = '&edit[' . $table . '][' . $row['uid'] . ']=edit';
                    $Nrow = array();
                    // Setting icons links
                    if ($icon) {
                        $Nrow['__cmds__'] = $this->getIcon($table, $row);
                    }
                    // Get values:
                    $Nrow = $this->dataFields($this->fieldArray, $table, $row, $Nrow);
                    // Attach edit icon
                    if ($this->doEdit) {
                        $Nrow['__editIconLink__'] = '<a href="#" onclick="' . htmlspecialchars(
                                BackendUtility::editOnClick($params, $this->backPath))
                            . '" title="' . $this->getLanguageService()->getLL('edit', TRUE) . '">'
                            . IconUtility::getSpriteIcon('actions-document-open') . '</a>';
                    } else {
                        $Nrow['__editIconLink__'] = $this->noEditIcon();
                    }
                    $out .= $this->addelement(1, '', $Nrow, 'class="db_list_normal"');
                }
                $this->eCounter++;
            }
        }

This is the only thing that prevents me from disabling the list module entirely in my use cases. I think it would be a great addition to typo3 because most editors are somehow confused when i explain the difference between the list and the page module to them.

I tried to implement it myself, but I failed because I don't understand enough of the typo3 core
