The problem with a createSortedNode() method on cache is the implicit creation of nodes.  So what happens if you do:

cache.createSortedNode(/a/b/c, mySorting);

where /a exists and is sorted, but /b does not?  Does /b get created as a sorted or unsorted node?

I guess as long as any assumptions are clearly documented, then we can use that as the only mechanism to create a sorted node.  Beyond that, we could use Node.isSorted() and Node.getSortedData(), Node.getSortedChildren() as you suggested, throwing exceptions if Node.isSorted() == false.
