setting and reading properties on CmsResource

Hi all,
My xsd Type has string element called 'Currency' and what I am trying to achieve is to display all my files ordered by currency. For that I have decided to write my own Collector and a Comparator. The problem comes when I am trying to get the Currency property from the resource in order to sort on it.
What I am trying to do is map Currency to the resource property in the xsd file as:

<mappings>
<mapping element="Currency" apto="property:Currency"
</mappings>

and then retrieve it inside my comparator as:

List properties = cms.readPropertyObjects(resource, true);
String currency = CmsProperty.get("Currency", properties).getValue();

This is not working. Moreover, when I am iterating through list of properties I get from cms, all this list has is Title property, nothing else.
Please, can any one point me to what I am doing wrong?

Thank you.

Re: setting and reading properties on CmsResource

I found my problem.. it was something specific to my xsd, - I had two levels of xsd types (two different files) and I was defining the mapping at wrong level - it should have been defined in 'root' level.
