Updates the v2 and v3 /servers and /servers/detail APIs to support the multiple sort keys and sort directions (using the 'sort_key' and 'sort_dir' parameters); these parameters can be specified multiple times to create a list of sort keys and directions. These parameters are passed from the API layer to the compute layer, then to the instance layer (with updated version), then to the database layers, and then to the common paginate_query function; the paginate_query function already supports multiple sort keys and directions. The function signatures in these various layers are updated with new 'sort_keys' and 'sort_dirs' parameters that represent the sort keys and directions information as lists. This support is enabled on the v2 API by the existence of a new 'os-server-sort-keys' API extension and is always enabled in the v3 API. The extension API sample issues 2 server creates and then ensures that both servers are listed (name is unique) in the list reply. DocImpact: The existing v2 and v3 servers API documentation needs to reflect these new parameters. The nova client will also be updated to use these parameters.

OpenStack Nova README
OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of virtualization technologies, including KVM, Xen, LXC, VMware, and more. In addition to its native API, it includes compatibility with the commonly encountered Amazon EC2 and S3 APIs.
OpenStack Nova is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.
Nova primarily consists of a set of Python daemons, though it requires and integrates with a number of native system components for databases, messaging and virtualization capabilities.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:
Developers should also join the discussion on the mailing list, at:
