In Governator voice: "It's not a JOIN."
But you can use it if you have a doc like:
{"_id":"my-outline",
"other_docs":["docid,"other-docid"]
}
and then a view like
function(doc) {
for (var i=0; i < doc.other_docs.length; i++) {
emit([doc._id, i], {"_id" : doc.other_docs[i]}
};
}
and then you will have an ordered list of the other docs available in
a view query (with include_docs) You can also specify the other docs
_rev if you want -- if it's not available it comes up as null in the
feed.
Of course, the usual include_docs performance caveats apply, but this
time we get a feature out of it!
