+    <function>ZOOM_query_sortby2</function> is similar to
+    <function>ZOOM_query_sortby</function> but allows a strategy for
+    sorting. The reason for the strategy parameter is that some
+    protocols offers multiple ways of performing sorting.
+    For example, Z39.50 has the standard sort, which is performed after
+    search on an existing result set.
+    It's also possible to use CQL in Z39.50 as the query type and use
+    CQL's SORTBY keyword. Finally, Index Data's
+    Zebra server also allows sorting to be specified as part of RPN (Type 7).
