      The webservice returns results in a seemingly random order. This means if you want to do something like display release groups by an artist ordered by date, you have to fetch all the release groups from the server first anyway so that you can sort them yourself. It would be more efficient if we could simply tell it to order by date (or name, or whatever) and stop fetching once we have enough results.

          This really bugs me all the time .. For me the GUI is almost useless .. I always use the API directly to fetch everything and sort locally

          And today it's worse as even the pagination resets the order on each request (MBS-12154).
          So we cannot collect search query results when they are more than 100.

          +12 : no sort makes pagination quite irrelevant (because we need to fetch everything first anyway).
