Hi Cédric,

Spec paragraph 6.6.3.5 says "Support for ordering on PATH and NAME properties is not required".
Does JackRabbit handles this case ?

yes, it does, but ordering NAME or PATH values will not always make sense because those values are namespace sensitive. which raises the question how exactly such values are ordered. because this question couldn't be answered easily it was decided to make it optional in the spec.

jackrabbit will make sure that names that belong to the same namespace will be properly ordered. when names belong to different namespaces ordering may be arbitrary.

I'd like to write a query like : "//[EMAIL PROTECTED] = 'foo'] order by name()"
Is it possible ?

no, currently not, because the name() function is not implemented. that would be another enhancement ;)
