I remember once wanting something similar in a TIB_Query. Before storing some data, we obfuscate the values. 'De-obfuscating' (clarifying?) them in OnGetDisplayText/OnGetEditText worked very well, but I simply gave up ordering on the displayed values (though for that particular program it would have been a 'nice to have' feature, and not all too important).
