Python sort records in ArcGIS 9.3

[CynthiaKozma]

I haven't had much luck finding a solution to this - which seems like it should be so easy.  One of our servers is still running 9.3, and I have a daily python script that runs on it.  One of the updates I would like to make is to be able to sort the records in a geodatabase based on the field 'Project Number' - in ascending order.  I thought it was an easy addition of sort_management until I realized that this is only available after 10.0.  Is there any way to accomplish this with 9.3?  Any help is appreciated.

The code in the following script should get you most of the way there:  Permanently sort features/records in a table or featureclass.  It is written for ArcGIS 9.3
