How can I do this
=Sort my user pages=
==Wait! It's not so easy/Wait! It's not so simple==
It would be simple if:
- All of my user pages were at the same level
- I didn't have any user pages that had, or were, subpages.
- But I do. Ugh.
===So now the question becomes:===
- Is there a way to sort my user pages without regard to the subpage state?
- Is there a way to sort and display all of my user pages including subpages
==Is there any way I can sort the list of my user subpages by, say:==
- date/time of last change
- date/time of creation
- length in bytes
Additionally, is there any way to control the display of this list?
- Can I force it to be one column?
- Can I force it to be in short or long format, a la the unix ls command?
Eureka! I think I've got it!

Read the CirrusSearch docs, but url params not covered. Argh!
