New description:

 Our buildbot installation is used for several codebases so our
 !SourceStamp listing on the individual build pages gets lengthy. I tried
 using Jinja2's sort method to sort this listing by the codebase attribute
 but failed:
 {{{
 <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: SourceStamp instance has no attribute
 '__getitem__'
 }}}


 Jinja2 sorting happens in filters.py at do_sort, using environment.getitem
 to attempt to retrieve the attribute via bracket notation:
 {{{
 # Jinja2 2.6 environment.py line 353
 return obj[argument]
 }}}

 I attempted to add a simple `__getitem__` method to my local
 sourcestamp.!SourceStamp but no dice, are the historical !SourceStamp
 objects serialized or something like that?
