History
ColdFusion MX:
• Changed the name attribute behavior: this tag validates the query name in the name attribute.
• Changed sorting behavior: this tag does not support client-side sorting of query results. (It
supports server-side sorting; use the
sort and sortcontrol attributes.)
• Changed how results are sorted: server-side sorting results might be sorted slightly differently
than in ColdFusion 5. If you attempt a sort against a server that does not support it,
ColdFusion MX throws an error.
• Deprecated the filterfile attribute. It might not work, and might cause an error, in later
releases.
