What if i modifed an element of the collection while, it was in the
cache, would it be resorted the next time I retrieve it?  I think with
the SQL sort it would only be sorted when it was refreshed from the
database, which should be minimized.

The use of this is in a forum where there may be a large # of topics
that need to be sorted by topic type & by topic lastupdated.  I do
have a start & end index and usually it is only a pull of 20-30
topics.  Could this be done a better way?

Thank you very much for your help!
