I was looking for an applescript sorting algorithm, I dunno which to

I need to somehow mimic what the Finder does. I tried using ls from
the shell but this outputs the same sort order as list folder does.
The Finder does not sort as you want when you ask for a list of items
in a folder, but it may do one day:
sort : (NOT AVAILABLE YET) Return the specified object(s) in a sorted list
sort reference -- a list of finder objects to sort
by property -- the property to sort the items by (name,
index, date, etc.)
Result : reference -- the sorted items in their new order
and I don't mean in Panther.
Perhaps Chris N can tell us what 'sort' will do if it is implemented.
