Sorting xpath results

Hello all,

Since Xpath does not support sorting (like 'order by'), does Xindice
have any mechanism to order results? Does Xindice support or will
support Xquery? Any dates?

If none of these are possible, which is the best strategy to follow if
we want to sort the results? XSL? Any other possibilities?

Thank you very much,

	Esteban

XQuery is something I'm sure we'll be looking at but I believe that 
it'll certianly be post 1.1. As far as dates go, well that all depends 
on the number of people we have helping out :).

I'm using xslt. It isn't an issue with the responses sizes that I'm 
dealing with. Your millage may vary.
