does it? you can have views ordered in a variety of ways (and could add a
a layer on top of LDP asking an LDP server to provide differently sorted
views of the same collection), but inherently, i would argue, the
underlying collection still *is* a set. ³inserting new data into a view²
to me is a weird concept. even with o:value, ordering is not fully
defined, because ordering depends on more than just values. it depends on
value types, and sort rules defined on those types. i donıt think we
should even try to answer those questions, but i think it demonstrates
that ordering is a server-controlled concept that is not fully exposed,
and cannot be used for anything other than server-controlled
representations (such as ordered pages).
