The hard bit is that there are four main source classes, and they each
have a different sorting order:

a) Permanent source (library, iradio, etc).
b) Playlists. User-sortable via drag-and-drop
c) Removable media. Probably sorted in order of addition.
d) Network sources. Probably alphabetical order.


The playlists are the really difficult bit, because of the drag-and-drop
re-ordering. Making that work at the same time as sorting other part of
the source list (well, tree), could be interesting.
