#87 sort order for workplaces

[Marshal N]

The module I am currently developing includes selecting
a workplace from a select box. My customer requested
being able to set an arbitrary sort order for the
workplaces. Attached is my implementation of that. I
have attempted to take all factors into consideration,
including adding a sort order to a previously unsorted
list.

A large part of the patch is adding a single line to
each language file (all English, of course).

If you think this would be useful to others, please
consider it for inclusion.

I had a look, the patch applies cleanly (apart from the ro
lang file). This adds a field where I can enter a (numeric)
key to define the order of the workplaces.

Question to anyone who reads this: Is this useful for the
general audience? Or should rather alphabetical ordering be
implemented?

Marshal, could you add a settings option to chose between
alphabetical ordering or ordering according to the numeric
key? That would be my favourite :)

I've added a select box which allows the user to choose
which field to sort by (id, name, description, sort_order).
The default is currently sort_order.

Two things still need to be added: First, use Javascript to
reload the page when the select box is changed. Second, add
a setting for workplacemanager to save the default sort
order. Help with these, especially the setting, is greatly
appreciated, as are any comments on how it looks.
