Hear hear! Server side sorting is a waste.

And it is easy enough to use the client to deal with the results.  That's 
how our online directory works when querying data out of our directory 
servers... We've been running that for over 6 years, and I've never yet had 
a complaint that it doesn't sort the results, yet it is used thousands of 
times a day...
