The Apple front ends don't call MDItemCreate(), all of them do a
Kaelin suggested.
If you create a query for the items you want, ask the query to sort
the attributes, then instead of asking the server for the items via
MDItemCopyAttribute()..
you ask the query for the value of a sort attribute.
But we have determined (see the earlier thread that Hamish referred
to) that
this approach doesn't work for kMDItemPath, which is the attribute
I want.
"But there's a *hole* in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza..." m.
yes its very very expensive to ask for kMDItemPath, But this approach
works for all other attributes except kMDItemPath.
