[slinkelist] Cannot sort in playlist grid

[Colby Boles]

this has come up a number of times. the playlist is not sortable. the way 
the data is modeled now, if you did sort the playlist, it would no longer 
play the items in order, which would be very confusing. our sort feature 
sorts the view you are looking at, not the underlying data. in the playlist 
case, I think you would need to sort the underlying data so that it plays 
in that order. personally, I'm not sure why you would ever play songs in 
alphabetical order or in order of playing time, etc.
