This is what I was trying to say in my post a few days ago.

I still dont think that OrderedObjectManager should be a 
container/folder type.

It should be a metatype that you can add to any existing folder, 
btreefolder, ldapfolder, sqlfolder, or whatever you may have. Configure 
it from where to get ids (could be objectIds, a catalog query using 
pathindex or just about anything), and provide a way to sort them.
