Hi folks

I have all operators required for b-tree, gist up here, and gist
index defined. But still "order by custom_type" won't work.
I have kind of wild card masks in my type definition, so b-tree won't
work. But still, do I need to define b-tree index as such for "order
by" to work ?
Perhaps gist should be expanded so it would take care of "order by"
and "distinct" ?

Thanks.
