I think the underlying issue which makes this impossible in CouchDB without add-on is that the engine does just one pass [*] over an index for either an identity or a range query, and there simply isn't any provision for sorting other than by the very index the query uses. [*] My understanding of the engine is very limited, but I guess that a second pass must be performed to merge results from several instances in order to produce a sorted result. Still, this is just a merge, so in the context of sorting, it is a one-pass conceptually. Please correct me if I'm mistaken in any of my half-blind assumptions. -- Michael Ludwig
