Sort on SOQL would be great. Because Query works in batches, the sort would have to happen after all the results have been returned, which would be fine by me. I’ve looked at the code for sorting the results and I too have been stumped.

As long as we’re talking SOQL, how about joins? When people as about SOQL, I tell them it’s just like SQL–but without joins. A simple join would eliminate many server round trips in my code.

I’d love a formula field that returns a checkbox. My example is evaluating if Today is between two date ranges, if so I’d set a formula checkbox to true. Right now I have to set a text field to “true” or “active”. Lame.
