Item search suggestion - WoWFollow

*edit - dangit completely missed the existing thread. Just kill this one I guess.

It would be nice if the advanced item search for wow items could require and/or sort by number and color of sockets. Hopefully that info is stored in the database, because I doubt adding the feature is worth the time to add in the info if it isn't.

Why this came up:
I'm looking into a set of gear for spellsteal tanking in Gruul's Lair. It requires a heavier wieght on stamina than pretty much any other gear set I'd be using. If I sort for cloth items with +stam on them, I get a lot of items with nice base +stamina, but have to search for several pages before I start finding socketed items. Since there are blue +12 stam gems, the socketed items are often better, but finding them isn't easy with the sort options currently available.

Ideally, I'd like to sort with something like:
Stat 1: Stamina, Weight: 4
Stat 2: Socket, Weight: 48
Stat 3: Int, Weight: 3
Stat 4: Spell Hit, Weight: 3
Stat 5: Spell Dmg, Weight: 1

or maybe

Stat 1: Stamina, Weight: 4
Stat 2: Blue Socket, Weight: 48
Stat 3: Red Socket, Weight: 29
Stat 4: Yellow Socket, Weight: 24
Stat 5: Int, Weight: 3
Stat 6: Spell Hit, Weight: 3
Stat 7: Spell Dmg, Weight: 1

Since those are the stat values of the gems I'd put in those slots if I care about the socket bonus.

Thanks!
