Sorry for dragging this back out of the depths but I was reviewing my
code for regression testing and I noticed I had missed this comment
way back when.

Where is this named sort option documented?

It seems to me that the implementation that I have here would still be
useful even if you could associate multiple sort columns with a single
displayed column. I think that it's confusing to the developer not to
have the list display using the sort order that is defined within the
model.
