thanks for your reply. AFAIK sorting the objects in the object storage does only sort them temporarily. And, even if Extbase does care about persisting the changes, you'd have to load all the objects, put the new one on the position where it belongs and then persist all objects again.
I went with a custom solution and i'm now sorting them manually with exec_UPDATEquery(). That works just fine but is totally ignoring the framework.

I think it would be really nice to have the possibility to sort objects directly by telling the ObjectStorage. Because I'd like to implement this, I filed a bug at forge [1]. It would be nice if you guys could give some feedback on the idea.
