Sean, you *can* explicitly assign asc. For example, this works fine:

sortByFieldList(UserID asc, DateCreated, Username desc)

Baz



You can

It might perhaps be hard to see in Baz's code but he has a space
before desc so it will not break in that situation. You'd specify
"field desc".

I don't like Baz's fix because it isn't symmetric: you can't
explicitly specify "field asc". I don't like the "fieldname sortorder"
string approach at all. It's a hack, IMO. Unfortunately, right now, I
don't have a better suggestion. So I'd say: don't change the framework
until a cleaner way to do this can be agreed on (and remember that
Doug has the final say).
