Until NodeStore's internal TreeModel gets a TreeSortable implementation,
this won't be possible, you'll have to manually sort the underlying
collection.  The good news is that the first person that does it can
contribute their implementation for the next Gtk# release.  ;-)

NodeStore doesn't implement TreeModel because NodeStore's purpose for
existence is to hide that API. It's highly unlikely NodeStore will ever
expose TreeModel, so it won't work with any of the TreeModel extension
objects like TreeModelSort or TreeModelFilter.
