| 17 | == Overview == |
| 18 | |
| 19 | FDO currently has no standardised support for result set ordering. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | == Motivation == |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Ordering is a very commonly used operation with databases. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Clients such as MapGuide can support rendering of complex roads networks |
| 26 | if the resultset are ordered, allowing major features to be rendered atop |
| 27 | minor features. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | [http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MapGuideRfc69] would require such support. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | == Proposed Solution == |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Add support for ordering to the FDO spec. |
