Mav's idea is to call the discussion "sorting" rather than filtering. Filtering has a negative sorta connotation - and theres a reason for it, as has been stated.
Why should we? After all, a filter simply limits the view of 130,000 articles to something managable, and we already use them extensively on Wikipedia. After all, what is search if not a filter? We just happen to be discussing exclusive filters rather than inclusive ones.
