	Doh! It's actually mentioned in the `questions` documentation. :-/ Though, it does seem strange to use the `sort` parameter for filtering. Also, it makes it impossible to get the list of featured questions sorted by another criteria (expiration date or bounty size for example - both important considerations for the bounty hunters). – Franci Penov May 21 '10 at 10:06
	@Franci, yeah, agree for that wording, you could convince them to rename it with some explanations. :-) – YOU May 21 '10 at 10:11
	@Franci, bounty questions are not too many, so grep them all and process them in client would be ok IMHO, (not sure about there is seperate parameters or not though) – YOU May 21 '10 at 10:25
