content fetch: add sort_by path_string

Currently with the content-fetch-list/tree functions you are able to sort by path. This uses the ezcontentobject_tree.path_string field. This field contains a node path (e.g. /1/2/47/53/56/)

It would be great to add sorting by the ezcontentobject_tree.path_identification_string field. The field contains a string path (e.g. users/administrator_users/administrator_user)

This is a pretty simple addition and would allow the retrieval of a alphabetical tree structure.

A patch for 3.4 can be found here http://ez.no/community/bug_reports/content_fetch_add_sort_by_path_string

Cheers

Thanks for the patch. Let's hope, that this will make it in 3.5 (hope, the feature-freeze is not this strict).
The node_path sorting usually is quite useless (for humans, at least).
