Hm, basically tslib_pibase provides this functionality, right?
pi_getlistquery or something like that. but adding a function never hurts,
I guess. Personally I always like to be in control of my own sql, though.
For me, the pibase does too much automagically already anyway.
But hey, tastes differ.
But I agree - where enablefields is handy for everyone (it's practically a
coding guideline to use it) the usage of sorting depends on the
implementation of the plugin, so I'd prefer to keep things seperate.
