Deserializing SortedSets

[ryantanner]

Are there any plans to support deserialization of SortedSets?

I know that's a pretty big challenge, especially to handle them generically with arbitrary Orderings, but it's a feature we'd really love to see. We've tried adding our own deserializer for it but we've had no luck.

I haven't looked at this since before the 2.0 release, so it's probably time to look at it again. It might be possible to borrow from the work done for Enumerations to create an annotation that references the Ordering object to be used. I'll see what I can do for the 2.3 release.

Version 2.3.0-rc1 has been released with this fix. It'd be a big help if you could try out the release candidate and let us know if you have any issues.
