I've checked in the change to allow this. Basically, the 
tree tag dtml for the manage_menu view no longer passes 
a 'sort' argument, so whatever ordering is returned from 
tpValues() is preserved.

The default tpValues implementation in ObjectManager has 
been updated to return subobjects sorted by id.

So the effect of this is:

  - All ObjectManager-derived objects that do not 
    specifically override tpValues will continue to be 
    sorted by id like usual

  - tpValues implementations can now dictate what the 
    best 'general case' (manage_main) sorting is for 
    its subobjects

  - Custom tree views written by users that specify a 
    'sort' parameter will continue to do the right thing
    (the sort specified to the tree tag will be applied 
    to the results of tpValues)
