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).
