More flexible sort in queries

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

solr_conn = solr.SolrConnection('http://localhost:8080/solr')

solr_conn.query('test query', sort='field1 asc, field2 desc')

This doesn't work. I get a "400 Bad Request" response.

According to the docstrings, the sort param could be a string in the format
that SOLR expects, or a python list/tuple of field names.

I've attached a diff with a proposed fix for this.

I've attached a new diff including the fix for the paginator.

I did encounter the same problem, however I came up with a slightly different 
solution 
that should preserve backwards compatibility (or, atleast, makes all tests 
pass).

Hmm, so it looks like we've got two potential patches to choose from. Can you 
both 
perhaps work together on a common approach, and add a unittest for the new 
functionality? Perhaps it would help if you both could work off of trunk w/ svn 
commit 
bits?

Well, my approach does not differ greatly. It does not break backwards 
compatibility 
(which I think is very needed) although it lacks the paginator fix, which 
should be 
definitely incorporated, along with unit tests.

So yes, I am available to work with whoever is interested or by submitting 
another 
"mixed" patch (meaning with a reasonable mix of the two approaches plus unit 
tests) 
against trunk.

Attached a patch against trunk, revision 52 (most recent rev at time of 
writing) that 
incorporates the best of both approaches and adds a test.
