Bruce,

Small correction to the TODO list. The "allow ORDER BY a function"
feature already exist in 6.4.

EXAMPLES:

SELECT foo FROM bar ORDER BY upper(foo);

-- or any other expression for that matter

SELECT foo FROM bar ORDER BY att1 || att2;

It was done as part of the "allow GROUP BY a function" feature.
