+Is there a way to have the generated maps sorted by *title* instead of *filename* when show=title is used?

Question: Is there a way to generate a listing that shows *both* title and description meta information? Currently, a \[\[!map ...]] shows only one of the two, but I'd like to generate a navigation that looks like a description list. For example:
* This is the title meta information.

The site I'm trying to set up right now (not really a wiki - no public editing) is divided into topics. Topics are pages that have `\[[!meta link="/topic"]]`. Topic pages contain an index of their subpages (done with `\[[!inline]]`); the subpages are the real content. I want a map in the sidebar that lists:

+I feel like this should be obvious, but I can't figure out how to sort numerically.
+
+I have `map pages="./* and !*/Discussion and !*/sidebar"` and a bunch of pages with names like 1, 2, 3, 11, 12, 1/1.1, 12/12.3 etc. I want to sort them numerically. I see lots of conversation implying there's a simple way to do it, but not how.
