Maybe its on nobodys radar, because its in the wrong collector?

This collector is for issues with the website www.zope.org

The collector for the zope software is here:

...taking the time to submit a patch would usually warrant a response on the ticket?

PathIndex (in PluggableIndexes) is not sortable because it doesn't inherit from the PluggableIndexes/common/UnIndex.py (like FieldIndex etc do).  I can see no bvious reason why it couldn't be sortable hoewver as it still implements inverse lookups using self._unindex which is an IOBTree.

I have produced a patch and attach it here.  Unit tests ran fine and when using it, PathIndex won't barf when you supply the "sort_on" attribute to a catalog search on on this index.

Could this be considered for inclusion into the next zope release?
