[X4U] Spotlight search results are not sortable by usual Finder metadata

[Michael Elliott]

Linda and Stoller,

How amazing I never even noticed this in 10.4.  Apple must have their  
heads up...well, you know.

I found a program called HoudaSpot that leverages the Spotlight engine  
in a better way. But the window it puts up at default is intimidating.
