PropertyDescriptorCollection.Sort() fails

The following fails at the PropertyDescriptorCollection.Sort() line --
exception at bottom.  Does it needs internally to use a comparer like the
sample one?

[[
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;

class PropertyDescriptorCollection_Sort {
    static void Main()
    {

        //--------
        //Type interfaceBase = typeof (IDisposable).BaseType;
        //Console.WriteLine ("[typeof(IDisposable).BaseType: {0}]", 
        //    interfaceBase == null ? "(null)" : interfaceBase.ToString());
        //--------
        PropertyDescriptorCollection coll = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties (
            // bug 403880 --> typeof (IComponent)); //IBindingList));  
            typeof (Component)
            );
        Dump (coll);
        PropertyDescriptorCollection sortedMyComparer = coll.Sort (new
PdcComparer ());
        Dump (sortedMyComparer);
        PropertyDescriptorCollection sorted = coll.Sort ();
        Dump (sorted);
    }

    class PdcComparer : System.Collections.IComparer {
        int System.Collections.IComparer.Compare (object x, object y)
        {
            return String.CompareOrdinal (((PropertyDescriptor)x).Name,
                ((PropertyDescriptor)y).Name);
        }
    }

    static void Dump(PropertyDescriptorCollection coll)
    {
        foreach (PropertyDescriptor cur in coll) {
            Console.Write("{0}, ", cur.Name);
        }
        Console.WriteLine();
    }

}
