If this is not core, at least let implementations the possibility to order

protocol-06 reads “The entries in the returned Feed MUST be ordered by
their 'atom:updated' property” which prevents any app:modified-style
extension.

Don't take this as an objection to your idea, but I don't understand how
allowing a variety of sort-bys relates to a client syncing with a server?
Client syncing with a server is related to syncing “significant” vs. “insignificant” changes (use cases: offline editing, wikis and group blog “ex post facto” moderation). “Significant” vs. “insignificant” is related to atom:updated vs. app:modified (or call it as you want). Eric proposed examples showing the problem having atom:updated-sorted lists and syncing “insignificant” changes.

That's how I relate allowing sorting by app:modified rather than atom:updated and a client syncing with a server.
