This may be one of those cases where a hidden field is optimal, allowing 
you to use something like:

   sort cards by field "MyCardNum"

But if you have to use custom props, walking through the cards is really 
fast since everything in Rev is RAM-based.  And you don't need to go to 
a card to access its properties:

   get the uCardNum of cd 12
