example introspection

It's very hard to search for some attribute in an object introspection when they are not sorted via alphabet. Please sort them, it will improve lg's benefit a lot.

Example attached - try to find an attribute that starts with "status", but you don't know the full name. Imagine there are 100 attributes in that object.

Fedora 17
