Hi Chris,

my personal use-case for this feature is the typical 
"Through-The-Web"-developer:

She creates lots of DTML, ZPT, PythonScripts in a folder (needed for 
acquisition), adds several new objects etc. After a while she has a mess 
of different objects, where it is hard to find the one she wants to work 
on. So she clicks on "Types" to sort the folder by meta_types, "applies 
this sorting" and moves the three PythonScripts she is currently working 
on to the top of the folder (no more scrolling every time to the buttom 
of the folder etc.).

This feature is something like cleaning up your desktop automagically 
(sort all my bills, my lectures, my proposals, ...) and put the 
important documents afterwards onto the top.

I like the idea of "cleaning up", but I don't insist on the "Apply this 
sorting" button. So let's drop it, because it seems to special for me in 
the meanwhile...:)

Cheers, Maik
