Adding sorting and grouping to the Mavo framework for end user web application authoring

Sorting and grouping in Mavo gives developers further control as to how the data shown on their webpage will be displayed. Given a collection of elements with the same underlying data schema, users can choose a property of these elements whose value should be used as a sorting criterion for what order the elements appear in. Expanding on this, Mavo users can also view a collection of data in groups, where group headings appear above a subset of the items denoting a shared characteristic of the items. With this additional functionality, Mavo developers can now author more powerful web applications that react dynamically to user input to display their data in a more meaningful way. All this new functionality comes with the existing ease-of-use of Mavo, requiring only an HTML attribute to specify how the data should be displayed, and how the view should update should changes in the data occur.
