[Glass] There is really no way to have an ordered/sorted collection together with indexes?

[Norm Green via Glass]

Since you are keeping the prices sorted, you can lookup a price in the 
sorted list using a binary search.  This gives you a worst-case search 
of log2(n) +1, which should be pretty fast as long as the price 
comparison methods are fast.  You should be able to create a subclass of 
SortedCollection to do this.

Also keeping 2 collections that each reference the same large set of 
objects should not be that expensive in terms of repository size. That 
said, I agree that keeping the prices in 1 collection is a cleaner design.
