Allow caller to control the order in which containers are returned from getContainers method

We would like the ability, for the calling application, to control the order in which containers are returned, on all Browse-Container functions (eg, ECIV2's getContainers method).  According the documentation, the order of containers on a channel is "undefined" and a specific order should not be assumed or relied upon.  Our specifc interest is with regard the the ECI V2 getcontainers method, but we see this as applicalble to all CTG APIs and, indeed, the CICS/TS API as well.

    yes - ordering by ascending alphanumeric container name would be quite adequate as this seemed to the defacto ordering prior to CTG 9.0 (techincally, prior to JAVA 7), Thanks, dave

    Would it be good enough to provide a single alternative to the current behaviour, which ordered the output of the container browse, by ascending alphanumeric order of container name?
