[mb-devel] Sorting

[sarvesh]

Is it possible to get the results back sorted by
release-date? If not I have two options
1. Add the feature in musinbrainz server, if you approve that is.
2. Use replication, which is not going to be
feasible in terms of cost for me. Also, I am not using PostgreSQL
which means my own replication code.

Option 2 is not very viable for a small personal project.

Thanks,
Sarvesh
