Sorting and filtering happen at the database level, so you definitely need to be looking at around that level. If you are really desperate to do filering have a look at contrib/admin/filterspecs.py and rummage around to see how they are used. It is possible to create and register your own ones (although entirely undocumented). I suspect sorting is much harder. Have a look at how the current stuff is implemented in contrib/admin/templatetags/admin_list.py (the result_headers() method, in particular), if you want to try and customise that. However, a quick look doesn't reveal any easy hooks to latch onto.
