You should sort on three attributes:
  sort: ('created', 'alpha', 'alphanum', 'modified', 'reverse_created',
          'reverse_alpha', 'reverse_alphanum', 'reverse_modified')
  sort_method: a method without argument
  sort_expression: any TALES expression with a reasonnable context

In UI, user cannot sort manually their document.

In ATCT.
SortFolder must be a separate type, like SmartFolder.
