#sort=(value) ⇒ Object

sorting on a column can be configured four ways:

sort = true               default, uses intelligent sorting sql default
sort = false              sometimes sorting doesn't make sense
sort = {:sql => ""}       define your own sql for sorting. this should be result in a sortable value in SQL. ActiveScaffold will handle the ascending/descending.
sort = {:method => ""}    define ruby-side code for sorting. this is SLOW with large recordsets!
