There's an open bug report to add sorting to NodeStore.  It has a
partial patch from Bradford Hovinen, but I never got the time to merge
it up and finish it.   

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=319546

Now that we have GInterface registration, I think I'd like to move
NodeStore to use an internal managed TreeModel implementation and get
rid of the glue model it currently utilizes.  Then the TreeSortable
interface could be implemented in managed code as well to provide
sorting on the NodeStore.

Maybe I'll make that an evening and weekend project, or of course, I'd
be happy to work with anyone who wants to take a stab at it and provide
a patch.
