Option (b) sounds appropriate. I agree there should be a way to retrieve
what has been set, although I've never had a need for such thing. It's all
done programatically (by the developer) in nearly every case, so the
developer should know what has been set. In fact, because of that, I'd
almost prefer that the getSortMethods() method be added as a mixin. I
suppose it's small enough that it could be directly included in the Simple
model, but enough small things add up to something big so I'm always
thinking about how much use something will get before directly adding it to
a class.
