[Radiant] Manual page sorting in admin view

[Keith Bingman]

There is a patch for this, actually two I believe, but it is a little  
rough around the edges. For one thing, it breaks the CSS for the  
Snippets and Layouts pages, though this is easily fixed. I have used  
this patch on pretty much every site lately, as it makes them much  
nicer to use.

Here is a link: http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/ticket/199

If in anyone is interested in cleaning the patch up and trying to get  
it into the core, I would be willing to help. I have most of the CSS  
problems solved, but have not looked at the second reparenting patch.  
The biggest problem is switching John's very nice table over to an  
unordered list, but this is accomplished in the patch. The entire  
page index page needs to be changed, but this work is mostly done.
