 The default direction is good for MultiValueSorter::add(), but the
 parameter name is annoyingly inconsistent.

 Not sure I see a good fix other than renaming the class and/or method.

 Marking milestone:1.1.7 for now at least - we should either address this
 in the 1.1.x series, or decide the best option is not to.
