Looks like this will be great for reflected XSS attacks. Even advanced users will not be able to notice there's something weird going on outside of the domain name part of the URL. Perfect!

Basically any page on the website with this vulnerability will be useable to show a fake login page, and user will not even notice he's not on the /login, but on some weird path + ?_sort=somejavascript

Not that it's that hard to clean up url via history api after you get access to the page via XSS atm, but there's still some short period of time where the full url is shown in such a case, that may provoke suspicion.

Stick "?jsessionid=<random 80 character string>" in front of the xss and no one will ever look.
