This looks good and I'm going to have to remember it, but I think
I'll stick with swapping the items for now and see how that works.
Mainly because I'd rather not have an extra field in the collection
just for the purpose of sorting.
This would be great, however, if I have a collection that I want to
sort on different "fields" for particular reasons without having to
re-order the entries each time.
For this, it's a matter of having the items in a particular order for
loading into the app. They will never be "sorted" for any temporary
reason.
Thank!
