Does IS_IN_DB(sort=True) not do what you want? If not, it might be a bit
simpler to instead override the options() method of IS_IN_DB and just
provide an alternative function in place of options_sorter() (or, if you
want an alternative options_sorter in all cases, you could just monkey
patch it in gluon.validators).
