Sorted indexes and (string<?) in Jade

Jade doesn't support the string<? primitive, nor any of the related
functions.  I was hoping to use this to sort an index I've created, and
so I'd be interested to hear what other people use as a workaround.

The last index I made was easier, since all the index terms were
available ready-sorted in the source (as a glossary), so I could use
the natural ordering available there.

I know it's a lot of work to build a collation engine (even simply
using the Unicode collation algorithm; more if it must support
(define-language) in the future), but does anyone have plans to
implement such a thing?
