This seems a terrible flaw* to me then: how am I supposed to store this 
kind of data?  I cannot use a normal global, instance, or class variable 
as these could become confused if multiple users are accessing the 
service at once.  Am I supposed to create a new, temporary per user 
database -- and how would I do that?

I guess I could keep track of the search terms that produced the list 
instead of the list itself, then when a sort is selected, reapply the 
search and then sort.

*but maybe not surprising considering the nature of the html/http beast.
