When you pass a custom query object to the DisplayList Plum custom tag, it completely circumvents the query building code, so the sort order cannot act upon it.
However, you bring up an excellent point that could be approached using a couple of different techniques. Consider this: 1) When you choose a different sort order from the sort order menu on a list, it re-queries the database using the new sort order. We *could* approach this problem by enabling developers to map each sort order choice in the sort order menu to a method call that returns a specific query object already sorted in the desired order. 2) There is also the idea of using query of queries to re-sort the query object, but those of you who have taken our ColdFusion MX Master Class understand the very negative internal ramifications of doing this. Still, it might be worth a try. Anyway, David and I are discussing it and will have an answer before the final release. I don't know if we'll add the feature in this release, but we'll have an answer for what and when.
