You can easily sort items in the content tree by clicking on the Alt button and then dragging the item where you want it and then letting go.  You will then receive a dialog box that says, “Are you sure you want to move ‘XYZa’ item before ‘XYZb’ item?”  Just click the OK button the item will now be there.  For a quick sort this has saved me time and hopefully it will help you.  Happy coding!
