Yep, libsysfs doesn't implement any sorts or filters on any of the lists. It 
won't be difficult to do, the dlists have what's needed to complete the 
functionality. And, it would be useful for systool and other applications. We 
will add the sort and filter functions. If there's anything particular you 
have in mind, please let us know. There may be a slight delay in getting new 
changes into our tree, Ananth is traveling to Australia for the Linux 
conference.

Thanks,
