Can you show an example?

After reviewing the sorting code yesterday I did find some problems, but 
the sort you are doing should work.  (I'm going to work on the sort 
code today.)

There's currently no way to do that.  You can extract out parts of the 
path name for indexing (searching) but not as property.  What I'd do is 
use -S prog when indexing and take the path name use basename() to get 
the name and store that as a separate property.
