[WikiEN-l] Sorting business - was filtering etc...

[Stevertigo]

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.

And sorting is sorta different, wouldnt we say?  There are sorting features
in WP now -- recent changes, news articles, - any search you do is a
sorting, of sorts.

So as a separate discussion, we can discuss sorting, -- but with the clear
understanding that *"sorting" means "sorting articles" - *not "sorting
people" for the appropriate article for them.
