Nothing IC can do here -- we can't repeal the laws of physics.
The in-page sort isn't *that* bad -- its deficiency is that it
has to access the database again for every item you want to sort.
If you aren't sorting a thousand things there is no problem.

You should really do a SQL [query ....] to solve this.
