 Do we need to support sorting on multiple columns?  Descending sorts?  Sorting with comparators?
 
+KnutWannheden: I was thinking about this problem a few days ago.  The approach I came up with was somewhat different though.  I thought it would almost be easier if the ordering were specified in Java.  The class which the contributions are mapped to would thus either have to implement {{{Comparable}}} or HiveMind's {{{Orderable}}} interface.  HiveMind could then automatically order the contributions accordingly.  This would also quite elegantly solve the problems of sorting on multiple columns and descending sorts by leaving the problem up to the developer.  Thoughts?
