Sort files in the “Folder” block

[Robert Lyon]

When users place the “Folder” block onto a page
anywhere on the site, they can decide whether the files and folders contained in the
folder that they want to make available, are sorted in ascending or descending
order.

also part of this patch is the ability to click on any subfolder listed in the folder block and view that subfolder on the view/artefact.php page and still retain the sortorder defined in the block.

Asc/desc sort order option added to folder blocktype (bug 1233896)

- also updated to view/artefact.php to allow it to repect the sortorder
chosen by the blocktype

- also got 'if artefact in view' to test the base parent artefact rather
than the subfolder artefact to see if it is allowed
