Jamie asked the Zope mailinglist about the following:

J> SortOrder of all objects effected by the move.

You want to interate through a sequence of 'Content' objects and
return the first one you hit that has SortOrder equal to SortNum ?
(You seem to know that one exists, and that there is only one..)

will this (untested) do the job ?

for object in context.objectValues('Content'):
    if object.SortOrder == SortNum:
        return object
return "no matching object found"
