<p>A method and apparatus for sorting data include sub-categorizing sorted data using defined sub-categories of a digital live network alliance hierarchy and enabling a search of the sub-categorized sorted data using the defined sub-categories of the digital live network alliance hierarchy. The sorting of the present invention enables a search to be performed which requires reduced filtering processes to be performed by a requesting client to achieve a desired search result and reduced bandwidth for communicating a result of a search to a requesting client as compared with non sub-categorized sorted data. In one instance, universal plug and play attributes are used to search the sub-categorized sorted data.</p> |
