"This new and improved control app offers ... sorting UPnP™ lists alphabetically."

I find the published UPnP specifications quite impenetrable (and greatly admire Simon and his like for their ability to work with them), but in my understanding it is the server and not the control point that should be doing any list sorting. Also, any sort would (I think) require that the browse tree is cached in some way at the control point, which is, again in my understanding, not what the UPnP specification requires.

Is my understanding correct in these respects?

The control point is free to use the sort order returned by the server or to resort the list before presenting it to the user. There is no need for the control point to cache the browse tree, as it can apply its own sort order every time it receives a list from the server.
