OSLC query does not specify how oslc.orderBy affects the results

      OSLC Query 2.0 describes an oslc.orderBy query parameter. However, our returned results use unordered representations such as a list of statements with rdfs:member. If the query response is non-paged, then oslc.orderBy serves no purpose - a consumer cannot determine the order from the returned RDF.

      It potentially serves a purpose for a paged response (either LDPC paging, or OSLC paging), where the first page should contain a subset of the sorted members starting at the beginning and so on. The OSLC Query 2.0 does not describe this usage pattern so it's unclear whether anything more was intended.
