Why should sorting be related to the primary key? You should be able
to sort on any attribute. If you wanted to sort a set of people by age
would it make sense to only retain one person of each age? Sort order
and identity should be orthogonal. Besides, if you need a collection
based on primary keys then a map or a sorted map is more appropriate,
and if you chose a set instead you probably expect operations on that
set to take into account the entire element.
