using a custom property as a sort key ?

[Thomas McGrath III]

Chris,

Don't forget the altID of each card as well...
The altID does not change if you have them in the preferred order when 
you set the altID.

This is good to get back to the original order.

Then you can use the index of card to sort other ways.
