Ok ... have found why the sort preference is not being loaded
properly. Simply a coding error in the track plugin.

However, I cannot see if the changing of the sort order of the
playlist on the ipod has ever been the case. Need others to verify this.

As far as I can tell:
- - The gp_add_track functions simply append to the end of the playlist
- - The sort functions only sort the gui

I can look into doing this but it is new functionality so will take a
little investigation.
