I've never used Google reader -- does it have any kind of sorting
capability for the list of entries?

no. there are two views, the "lens" view and the more traditional list
view. both fetch entries progressively and neither allows sorting.
that works for feeds which are sorted in reverse chronological order
by default.

The progressive loading technique (a.k.a. the 'endless single page')
would still mean that effectively we're loading (pretending to load) the
entire data set, sorted according to some criteria. So re-sorting would
still require a trip back to the server, which is one of the things
we're trying to avoid in order to increase performance and limit the load.

right.
