actually, it's better *not* to do this.

  1. it makes merging the file a pain, if/when that becomes necessary

  2. someone else did it last time and used DIFFERENT sort semantics
     from yours (yours = case sensitive, theirs = case-i)!   The file
     was *already* sorted, just using case-i.

  3. the MANIFEST order dictates the order of files in the tarball,
     and in my opinion it's better to have the README, UPGRADE et al
     listed first.   (this isn't aimed at your sorting, it's aimed
     at whoever sorted it last time btw)
