sorting of results from queries has been established
Listing the variables can almost be put into production.
However, it should by default be sorted by "name".
Maybe we can add an option - either
sort=True| False
,
or, even better,
sort=name or sort=id or sort=cf_standard_name or sort=chemical_formula
,
...
-- but before starting we should consider whether this is a concept that we can/want to use in other queries.
(because we want to make the API as uniform as possible).
