Sort is not serializable to JSON

[ghahramani]

Hey guys,

I am trying to transfer Pageable over RSocket and it seems Sort implementation is not encodable, I mean you cannot find the direction or the orders as the orders but without getter which means, when you serialize it, there will be only useless properties in the JSON like:

unsorted: Boolean
sorted: Boolean
empty: Boolean

As you can see there is no information on what field and in which direction is sorted.

My proposal is to add a getter for private final List<Order> orders; field so when it converts to JSON, you will have information about the sorting

Sort was never intended to be serializable over JSON. If you want to use Sort with JSON, please provide your own serialization representation as we do not want to get into JSON representation business that is mainly used for API calls.

But how come the Pageable is serializable?
