[Zope] faster navigation with sorted content-list-property?

[Trevor Toenjes]

I get your point, but rather than solving by writing a new index file...
Take a look at OrderedFolders to sort your list.
This creates a sorted list in your ZODB, without creating a second file t=
o
do the same thing.

Of course this doesn't work if you have more than one sorting requirement=
s
on the same list.  But for NAV this would seldom be the case.
