Correct, sorting does not use indexes.  Not sure how you could index
sorted results since there are countless ways you can sort result sets. 
So sorting takes the resulting entries (which might be gathered by
indexes) but then it reorders/sorts them based on the sort control provided.

The other option would be to use VLV indexes which are sort of
predefined sorted results.  VLV searches are a bit more complicated
though:
