Might be possible. I vaguely remember that the Provider supports sorting for related entities based on the field names on SQLAlchemy (but not non Mongo). The root of the feature is implemented at https://github.com/TurboGears/sprox/blob/master/sprox/sa/provider.py#L536-L560
If you are willing to experiment with what happens when that check is removed I'm open to merging any pull request that might be required to get rid of that limitation.
