Comment 12 for bug 231106

It is late and I'm tired so I might very well be missing the point, however... I think you both overlook the fact that the sort() method is expected to return a list of (name, viewlet) tuples which util.sort_components() won't.

So, I have to jump through some hoops to get this list of (name, viewlet) tuples sorted just like util.sort_components() would sort the list of just viewlets.

If this explanation still makes sense that is.

Anyway, tomorrow I'll have a better look.
