@George - /questions/{id} only gives you the first "page" of answers anyway. If its the full set of answers (by answer_count) you should do the sort locally. Otherwise a second request is necessary anyway, might as well have the sorting done on our end.

@Kevin: Oh, okay. I just thought it was wasteful to fetch the question and then all the answers. I guess it won't hurt if the first request has body=false set.

@George - OR you could take the questions/{id}/answers route and specify sort. sort on /questions/{id} applies to the question(s) returned. {id} is vectorized in both cases (in all cases, infact).
