specifying sort in DataSource XML definition

[csillag]

Is there a way to specify sorting in the DS XML file?
(for the SQL backend.)

I am aware of Custom SQL, which can do this, and a lot more, but it feels like an overkill to use it just to specify sorting...

Thank you.

I am also interested in this. Cant find a sample on the showcase. Want to sort on something other than the primary key. Is this possible without using custom datasource?

I think specifying an operationBinding with requestProperties including a sortBy would do it.
