Review comment:
       Ah OK. I was misunderstood about the usage on SortOrder. If the users (I 
assume this includes data source implementation) are discouraged to implement 
this, no problem at all and please disregard my comments.
   
   I understand the catalyst module is considered as private API, but given 
connector package is now playing as public API (at least some of APIs are 
public API data source implementations should leverage), it'd be nice if we 
could explicitly separate the public vs private APIs.
