Well, this is clearly an open issue! :-)

Please, check this...

and this...

It is rather important to get at least an intuitive idea about what 
XWiki Classes, Objects and Properties do mean. Please, check this:

http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/DataModel

It won't be possible to unveil the power of XWiki without a clear 
understanding of what these concepts mean and how are implemented within 
XWiki.

In the case of the Sorted Document Tree Plugin, the piece of information 
used to weight a document could be either add an instance of the 
XWiki.TagClass class, or the XWiki.SortedTreePageClass class imported 
with the xar file of the application.

How to instantiate a class?

1. Generally: Edit > Objects ; select the class and click ADD. You can 
edit the value of any property by clicking the small pencil in the right 
side.
2. To add a tag, follow the general procedure by selecting 
XWiki.TagClass or simply click the plus symbol in the bottom of the 
document. To the left, in the same line including author and date.

Great to read this. There are a lot of work done in new procedures to 
avoid edition conflicts. Some devs are currently considering to improve 
lock to section level.

Hope this helps to soften your XWiki learning curve!
