Description of the bug/feature
==================================

When I am requesting the frieds of the user, i need to display the list
alphabetically... The OS doc says there is a param which can be added to
the datarequest in the following format,

opt_params[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.SORT_ORDER] =
opensocial.DataRequest.SortOrder.NAME;

But currently this doesn't work... Its a very important feature when the
user has hundreds of user, and he need to pick one from an un-known order.

PLEASE FILL OUT THE FOLLOWING FOR A BUG REPORT ONLY (delete everything
below this line for a feature request):

What steps will reproduce the problem?
======================================
1. Try normal friends list example with the above params added
2.
3.

What is the expected output?
============================
The friends data sorted according to their names



What is the actual output?
==========================
un sorted list

Which container are you using?
==============================
orkut

Which browsers have you experienced this on?
============================================
FF

Which operating systems have you experienced this on?
=====================================================
XP
Please provide any additional information below.

You can use the API's capabilities discovery model to see if this is supported.  In
this case, it's not:

`alert(opensocial.getEnvironment().supportsField(opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.SORT_ORDER))`

Nonetheless, it's still a valid feature request to have Orkut support this field.
