Primary grid should be sortable by columns

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Click header on any column, or select View from the menu.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the columns to be sortable, but they aren't.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

SVN HEAD on OSX.

Please provide any additional information below.

If this is by-design--and believe I have some understanding of why it would
be--then its not a huge loss, but if its a reasonably straight-forward
feature to add, it would be very useful.

I've been thinking about this. I think it's a 1.1 feature. I need to re-think 
the whole 
record model before getting into sorting.

There are actually 2 different kinds of sorting: one temporary for viewing 
only, and 
one for actually re-ordering the rows permanently. For now, I'll refer to the 
former as 
"sorting" and the latter as "re-ordering".

Initial implementation as of r840. Column sorting is temporary until you invoke 
Reorder Rows Permanently. We'll 
need a few UI iterations to nail this feature properly. 

staringmonkey, iainsproat, please try it out! Note that row-based vs. 
record-based modes are taken into account 
when sorting.

Counted this as fixed. Please create new issues as you find bugs with the 
sorting feature.
