[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-114?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=31233#action_31233 ] 

Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-114:
-------------------------------------

While we're at it, it would be great to be able to support /$count other places in the request (like $filter and $orderby) for either collections or navigations to many:
 
So, in addition to supporting this for collection properties:
    GET ~/Friend(6)/Interests/$count

We could support:

    GET ~/Friends?$filter=Interests/$count gt 10&$orderby=Interests/$count 

for either collection properties or navigations.
