Ah hem... which one is cooler? :-)
Any preference between:
*  still use GeoServerFeatureCollection, just making sure it simply does
skip and max
   (which would be forward ported to trunk and replace MaxFeatureCollection)
*  roll a new SortingFeatureCollection that only does sorting and keep
   MaxFeatureCollection (which would have to be back-ported to 2.1.x).
