    \class QMessageSortOrder

    \brief The QMessageSortOrder class defines the parameters used for sorting a subset of 

    queried messages from the messaging store.

    \ingroup messaging

    A QMessageSortOrder is composed of a message property to sort and a sort order. 

    The QMessageSortOrder class is used in conjunction with the QMessageManager::queryMessages() 

    and QMessageService::queryMessages() functions to sort message results according to 

    the criteria defined by the sort order.

    For example:

    To create a query for all messages sorted by their timestamp in decending order:

    \code

    QMessageSortOrder sortOrder(QMessageSortOrder::byTimeStamp(Qt::DescendingOrder));

    QMessageIdList results = QMessageManager().queryMessages(QMessageFilter(), sortOrder);

    \endcode

    \sa QMessageManager, QMessageFilter

*/

/*!

    \fn QMessageSortOrder::QMessageSortOrder()

    Create a QMessageSortOrder with specifying matching parameters.

    A default-constructed sort order (one for which isEmpty() returns true) sorts no messages. 

    The result of combining an empty sort order with a non-empty sort order is the same as the original 

    non-empty sort order.

    The result of combining two empty sort orders is an empty sort order.

    Windows mobile and desktop platforms do not support sorting bySender() and byRecipients(), 

    additionally the Windows mobile platform does not support sorting byTimeStamp() and bySize().

    \fn QMessageSortOrder::QMessageSortOrder(const QMessageSortOrder &other)

/*!

    \fn QMessageSortOrder::operator+(const QMessageSortOrder& other) const

    Returns a sort order that which is the result of concatenating the vaue of this sort order and the value 

    of sort order \a other.

    This function determines sorting precedence.

    On the Windows Mobile platform bySubject() and byReceptionTimeStamp() sort orders can not 

    be combined with each other.
