Currently API:Query automatically sorts pages alphabetically.
So query like this
Will return pages in following (alphabetical) order: Apple, Banana, Orange
I see a lot of cases when it's handy, but there are also cases, when you don't want API to sort results and would prefer it to return pages in order requested (e.g. Orange, Apple, Banana).
I suggest, some kind of API key be added to query options, requesting NOT to sort results (e.g. nosort).
If you need actual example, when sorting does more harm then good, I'm querying DjVu pages from Wikisource, and I'm requesting pages in following order: Book/99|Book/100|Book101, and response I get is Book/100, Book/101, Book/99.
Sorting can be good, and can be bad, and we need an option to get results in order they were requested.
I believe it shouldn't be hard to implement.
