You either use a ZCatalog (for searching) or "ZopeFind" (--> ZQR)
with an "expr" parameter for filtering.

ZCatalog can also sort (on indexes). Otherwise, you can use
"sequence.sort", a very powerful sorting facility.

If you place something there that displays them there...

  Of course, the ZMI does not do that for you.
