Description

Using filterPermissions, I selected a member (ApplicationUser#permissions, in fact), but what I saw was all the permissions relating to the type (ApplicationUser).  What is the intended behaviour here?

Also, with the "sort:X" prefix, a couple of points:

a) the "sort:" is a lot to type.

b) there's no space after those first 6 chars, which is tricky to read.

 

Perhaps it could be simplified to:

n:<xxxx>

t:<xxxx>

m:<xxxx>

which is less to type, and the ":" acts as a natural separator?
