Ok, that was what I thought you meant it just wasn't quite clear from 
your description. :)

How will it then be returned to an unsorted state?

And, as I'm not sure if a conclusion was reached in the previous thread 
about FilteredList/SortedList, what happens here if the provided list is 
a FilteredList or some other TransformedList (but not a SortedList) - 
was the decision to make TransformedList mutable after all?
