#
# - Consecutive clicks toggle the column's sort order.
# - Sort state is maintained by a session hash entry.
# - CSS classes identify sort column and state.
# - Typically used in conjunction with the Pagination module.
#
# Example code snippets:
#
# Controller:
#
#   helper :sort
#   include SortHelper
# 
#   def list
#     sort_init 'last_name'
#     sort_update %w(first_name, last_name)
#     @items = Contact.find_all nil, sort_clause
#   end
# 
# Controller (using Pagination module):
#
#   helper :sort
#   include SortHelper
# 
#   def list
#     sort_init 'last_name'
#     sort_update %w(first_name, last_name)
#     @contact_pages, @items = paginate :contacts,
#       :order_by => sort_clause,
#       :per_page => 10
#   end
# 
# View (table header in list.rhtml):
# 
#   <thead>
#     <tr>
#       <%= sort_header_tag('id', :title => 'Sort by contact ID') %>
#       <%= sort_header_tag('last_name', :caption => 'Name') %>
#       <%= sort_header_tag('phone') %>
#       <%= sort_header_tag('address', :width => 200) %>
#     </tr>
#   </thead>
#
# - Introduces instance variables: @sort_default, @sort_criteria
# - Introduces param :sort
#
