Try using kMDItemFSName
Hmmm, I tried and it sorted correctly by name, but unfortunately
that's a non-solution for me as I'm using the full path as the key
used to merge known pdf's and ones found by spotlight, so I really
need to sort by kMDItemPath
I wonder if this anything to do with the fact that [NSMetadataItem -
attributes] shows an array that doesn't actually contain
"kMDItemPath" yet it's a perfectly valid attribute

I seem to recall something about kMDItemPath being "special" because
it is very expensive to compute. But it seems like it should be
computed if you ask for it in the query (as a sort attribute for
example) even though it will slow things down. Probably worth a bug
if you haven't already; there should be some headerdoc or other doc
if there is indeed special behavior for that attribute, if nothing else.
