[Geoserver-devel] sorting WFS results

Does anyone have member access to the OGC docs? Specifically WFS
1.1/Filter 1.1? I am pretty positive it is approved by ogc, just not up
on the public site yet. I don't necessarily need a copy of the spec, I
just need details on the orderedby filter, so that I can come up with a
plan to implement it, so that we get the names right.

thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

thanks, that would be useful. there are a whole team of people here who
need this sorting,
and will be able to put some development time in to get it working.

If you can send me some pointers I will get started and pass it on when
I leave.

thanks,

Norman
