Collation is fancy word for "way to sort something". Liangent was working on a
thing to allow categories to be sorted multiple different ways (The
"chinese-collation" branch). I'm not really sure what the status of that work
is now, it seems stalled, but if we're doing that, it seems like tacking sort
by date on to that work makes sense (Even if on the backend its implemented
totally differently). [I should note: I say this without looking at the code
and only vague memories of how the chinese collation stuff would look like]

One potential complicating factor, is that sort by date is only efficient if we
don't separate out into three separate sections for subcats, pages, and files
(due to current db indexes), which might complicate an interface.
