I vote against this. 

I've read the archives, I'm mainly a lurker with desires to build an
Open Source CAP Server (http://www.sf.net/projects/jical)

I would have thought ordering was a natural requirement of a server vs a
client. Surely your data store can make these things easier via indexes
etc. The comparison to an Inbox doesn't stack up. From reading the spec
- CAP Servers are more like a specialised RDBMS. Imagine if your RDBMS
did not support ORDER BY? An alternative would be to add the ORDERBY to
capabilities so that the client can query and see if the server can/will
handle ORDERBY.
