[schooltool-dev] Introducing order to the help tree

[Jean-François Roche]

The tree.py in zope.app.onlinehelp.browser (which is in charge of
building this tree) is calling for getSubTopics (which is define in
zope.app.onlinehelp.onlinehelptopic ). This getSubTopics method has no
sort method.
Question is now wether a sort method should be added in the BrowserView
( zope.app.onlinehelp.browser.tree) after each call to getSubTopics or
should be added inside the onlinehelptopic.getSubTopics method ?

We can sort this based on the ID (that you set in the zcml).

We shouldn't sort that in JS 'cause LI are already in place and JS is
just looping throught the LI within a UL. We should sort this earlier.
