New CollectionOptions API
Two quick questions:
- Are there String "enums" anywhere that list possible values for sort
by and filter?
- Is "topFriends" really both a filter *and* a sort order? Shouldn't
it only be a sort order?

There are string constants in PersonService. Is that what you mean?

In some containers topFriends is like a group. As in Adam is one of my top
friends but Louis is not. (like the popular topfriends gadget) In other
containers topFriends is a sort as in Adam is a better friend than Louis he
comes above Louis as a top friend.
Opensocial and thus Shindig need to support both concepts.

Person.Field.*, we've got constants for. Container-specific is
container-specific, of course. Shouldn't we have a constant for
sorting topFriends and for filters, topFriends and hasApp?

Weird (I'm hard-pressed to imagine a gadget developer actually wanting
the filter except by confusion), but OK.

Person.Field.*, or topFriends, or some container specific js sort extension
