Comment:

 Fixed in master by [1d5304340bbd86e6a55d12bab4240d618ed644a6].

 For 1.2.x, I think the answer is to bump the minor protocol version, and
 add a variant of `MSG_QUERY` (e.g. `MSG_QUERYSORTVALUE`) which will get a
 new variant of `REPLY_RESULTS` (e.g. `REPLY_RESULTSSORTVALUE`) which
 includes the sort key.  A 1.2.20 (or older) client will sent `MSG_QUERY`
 and still get `REPLY_RESULTS` back.  A 1.2.21 client won't work with a
 1.2.20 server, but that isn't something we promise will work.
