Jamie asked the Zope mailinglist about the following:

Are you sure your SortNums are of the same type ?
"2" and 2 are not equal.. ;)
If you just pass it in a a request parameter, it defaults to a string.

check this one:
http://www.zope.org/Members/Zen/howto/FormVariableTypes

and you can try making yourself some debugging script:

for object in context.objectValues('Content'):
    print "object.SortOrder is %s and SortNum is %s" %(object.SortOrder, SortNum)
return printed

vary as needed to investigate what fails :)
