Since the flashMessenger uses namespaces to group the messages, its impossible to sort the messages just by date.

I suggest to remove that limitation. Instead of grouping it in different arrays, maybe it would be better to store them in a single array.

To achieve the different types, maybe we could do that over "tagging". This could also enable mutliple tagging/routing to the right place...

I'm against removing the namespaces because it eases grouping messages a lot. There's been many cases where I've used Namespaces on FlashMessages and found the feature incredibly useful.

However it shouldn't be this difficult to rewrite to have it ordered by date (per namespace though!)

Right now the code is:

$container->{$namespace}->push($message);

All the change required would be

$time = microtime(true) * 1000;
$container->{$namespace}->offsetSet($time, $message);

This however would dare a risk of overwriting messages (though quite low).

I'd rather see an additional FlashMessenger implementation like TimedFlashMessenger that simply does things a bit different. Thoughts?

Should be marked for ZF3 milestone, shouldn't it?
