Hi all,

I'm writing this email to thank you guys for doing such a great job in
development and maintenance of such a helpful tool.

Also, I wanted to give suggestion as a daily user of Meld.

When I'm doing heavy merges, usually the list of files could be very
long, which makes me want to sort them based on "Name" or "Location" or
"Status".

I just created a patch (attached to this email) handling the sort based
on "Status" which solves my issue. However, since I'm not a developer,
you might want to do it in another fashion.

Thanks for the suggestion and the patch! The `set_sort_column_id()` function takes a column ID though, so that instead of True those lines will need to be COL_TEXT, COL_LOCATION, COL_STATUS, and COL_OPTIONS.

I'm slightly worried that sorting like this will affect something else we're doing (like tracking tree paths or something) when not in flattened mode, but I'll try and find some time to look at this.

cheers,

Kai
