Perhaps this is the wrong place to do this, but a feature I'd like to see is specifying sort direction of keys in an array. This would give AFAIK 100% compatibility with the Google App Engine indexing system; thus in principle App Engine apps could be ported to CouchDB. emit([doc.first_name, doc.last_name, doc.age], 1); It is not possible for first names to sort ascending, last names to sort descending, and age to sort ascending again. The example may seem contrived but it happens all the time. -- Iris Couch
