I am leaning towards the first version, so all in one string. That
way you can have mixed sortings too such as "name ASC, created_at
DESC". I also agree with Jens comment that calling it :order would
make it more rails like.
While we are at it, it would also be nice to use :limit for :num_docs,
and :offset for :first_doc.
