Abstract

   This specification extends the Web Distributed Authoring and
   Versioning (WebDAV) Protocol to support the server-side ordering of
   collection members.  Of particular interest are orderings that are
   not based on property values, and so cannot be achieved using a
   search protocol's ordering option and cannot be maintained
   automatically by the server.  Protocol elements are defined to let
   clients specify the position in the ordering of each collection
   member, as well as the semantics governing the ordering.
