doing it in "proper way" (sorting on multiple columns) will be quite hard
in postmodern, as it means complicating cursor stuff even further.
as least i don't know how to do this anyhow easy.

so if you know how to do this converting everything to strings and sorting 
them (if i understand you correctly),
it would be much better. does it need any support from backend or it should
work totally transparently?

p.s.  i've fixed the nasty upgrade-btree issue for postmodern, now i'm 
reviewing stuff, testing
and fixing leftover small issues, so i hope soon postmodern would be 
"ready".

by the way, my email killerstorm at newmail.ru went down few days ago, so if
anybody wants to communicate with me it would be better to use 
alex.mizrahi at gmail.com
address instead.
