Sort Options for List Tabs

In VaultWiki 3, it was possible to use a forum's default sort order to make the wiki forum sort on another metric other than last update. A popular alternative was to order them by title.

VaultWiki 3 needs a default sort for Area-type Lists, and a way for users to change the sort method to one they like once they are already viewing the list. For non-Area-type lists, like Category or Group, the user choice should also be available.

While it might be useful for Books, using a different sort order would probably have to collapse nested chapters. Special thought needs to be given to this case to maintain the hierarchy while altering the sort method.

Base code that handles this is now in place (url params sort=[title|lastupdate], sortorder=[ASC|DESC]).

Need to add the interface now for admin setting defaults, and the interface for user selection.

Sorting also now applies to Group Lists and Category Lists. The Group list inherits the default sort from the containing area. Since categories have their own default sort, the area's sort is not inherited.

Sorting now applies to a Book's full chapter list. When sorting, chapters from the max book depth are shown, but hierarchical relationships are no longer displayed graphically and chapter numbers don't appear. These metrics are generated dynamically based on the current depth level and the current page in the sort. By changing the sort, it is no longer possible to number the chapters efficiently.

Basic interface for user-selection completed and added to Area, Category, Book, and Group lists. Users can now change the sort order between Last Update and Title as they see fit.

Marked as Implemented in the next release.
