Sorting with arrays work fine, but pls. remember that you need more work for
the "Next records / previous records" function.
And, if a record get updated, then you have the old entry in your array, so
you must hit the database again to reload the array. If you don't do so, you
get frustrated :-))
Depending on the records resultset (short search or a long search) I suggest
to make a reload of the data's, but if you have a lot of DB Hits, then the
array solution is faster.
