This feature has been discussed since before the first Alpha of Cayenne
1.0... Unfortunately it was dropped back then due to the problems in
maintaining correct ordering on objects addition/removal. Still IMO we
should support it for DB selects, but leave it up to the user to keep the
list sorted after that...

Anyway for now I suggest creating cover methods that do in memory sort.
See this recent thread that discussed it:
