Description:
The new WFS spec is going to have a SortBy element in Query, to order the results. Several users have been asking for this, so it would be nice to support. There is a plan of action for doing this in geotools. Once in geotools it should be quite easy to implement in GeoServer:
1) Make a SAX parser for the new SortBy element. This is probably trivial
enough to just do inside the FeatureHandler:
http://svn.refractions.net/geoserver/trunk/geoserver/src/org/vfny/geoserver/requests/wfs/FeatureHandler.java
Though it could also be done as its own (sax)handler, in which case it
could go into GeoTools, but I think that would just cause nasty weird
stacks, like what we had to do with Features and Filters and their parents
in geoserver. Basically this all needs to be moved to the new xml
framework that David Z has done. And SortBy probably needs to be added to
it. I still have not dug fully into it, but I am pretty positive it is
the answer to our problems.
I think that's actually all that is needed in GeoServer.
