Does it?

That requirement applies to collection feeds advertised in
`app:collection/@href`, not to all feeds anywhere. As long as
you don’t advertise that URI as your main collection feed, you
can order its entries in any way you want.

As I said: just put the information about your query feed URI in
some extension element. Think “extra links to others views of the
collection” rather than “filtered collection feed” and you won’t
have any trouble.
