cmprop is working fine in list mode, but in generator mode the parameter gcmprop is ignored.

Resolving as INVALID. Generators are just intended to generate a titles/pageids/revids array for use in the next step. Outputting sortkey while in generator mode is simply not possible.
No problem if this behaviour is as expected, but then the documentation should be checked - at the moment I can't find the slightest hint for these limitations.

I see, the normal way of programming ;-) What about an error for paramters that are allowed in prop/list mode but ignored in generator mode - instead of just silently ignoring them?

Could be done. We had a little trouble with gwlprop, which wasn't allowed, but because there was a default value for it, an error would *always* be thrown. I suggested checking against the default, but Yuri fixed it by simply silently ignoring the gwlprop param. We'd have to discuss this with Yuri before we go around changing half a dozen files.
