[TYPO3-mvc] sort order of related objects?

[Thomas "Thasmo" Deinhamer]

Hoi,

the main problem which I come over and over again is fetching objects 
via conditions like 'limit' and 'sort' for nearly all methods of a 
repository. For pagination you need to set a limit (start, limit) and 
often sort order depends on the project's purpose; meaning the one and 
same extension needs to sort objects different for different projects.

What goes hand in hand with 'limit' and 'sort' is often the requirement 
to fetch objects filtered by different properties. Thus it happens often 
that you end up with repository methods with a lot of parameters.

The question now is, if there may be a nice and easy to use solution for 
setting 'limit', 'sort' and custom filters for repositories. A 
global/general API for this would come handy imho, but I have no idea 
how to implement this effectively for easy usage.
