OK, slow down :-). I see the latest version of the patch added sorting
functionality - which is great, but please try not to change the
functionality once we're into the review/refinement process. If you
want to add more functionality, post a new patch, otherwise the
process just becomes a lot more complicated.

Sorting is there now though, so we'll deal with both together.

I see two remaining problems with the patch - that being one of them,
and the other being that there is still code in there attempting to
enable/disable the sorting/filter options on the View menu - that
needs to be changed throughout to the Tools menu of course (eg.
viewMenu->Enable(MNU_OPTIONS, false); ), plus the other new options
should be enabled/disabled in the same places. That's done to prevent
these functions being selected during data refresh or other
operations.

One hint - test in a debug enabled build as you should then see
asserts for things like enabling non-existant menu options.

Once thats sorted, I think we'll be ready to apply :-)
