There's an easier way to extend the existing Url view helper. Since view helpers are loaded using a LIFO stack, you can create your own view helper named "url" and Zend_View will use that one instead of the built-in version. I suggest extending the existing helper instead of copying it. That way you can ksort the $urlOptions array before passing it to the parent method.
Here's a quick example (not tested): http://pastie.org/1235792 The added benefit is that you don't have to decide which helper to use in your view scripts -- just use the same call $this->url() and pass in "true" as the fifth parameter.
