For now I think it makes sense as just a per node option. Another API possibility would be something like | enum Sorting {CHILDREN, DATA, BOTH} | cache.createSortedNode(Fqn fqn, Sorting sorting); | cache.createSortedNode(Fqn fqn, Sorting sorting, Comparator<?> nodeComp, Comparator<?> dataComp); | Then you don't have to worry about the sorting switching back and forth on you, as it would be fixed.
