True, that's a good use case.
If the output of the displaying action is cached, sorting the result via 
PHP shouldn't be a problem.
Preferably you should do this in the Repository, e.g.

/**
  * @param array<Tx_YourExt_Domain_Model_Category> $categories
public function findByCategories(array $categories) {
   // retrieve all records with the specified categories and sort result
}
