it would be helpful sometimes of the keys in the list would be sortable (by clicking on the respective column header), sometimes it's hard to find the key you're looking for in the unsorted list.

in perl-gtk this would work with a "$treeview->set_sort_column_id($column_id)" for each $column, i assume c is similar here but since i have no clue i can't provide a patch :(

Property names are already sorted by alphabetical order, how would allowing sorting by type and value make things easier?

well, for starters being able to invert the alphabetical order would be helpful.

i agree that the usefulness of being able to sort type and value isn't obvious, but i still think it might be practical at some point, e.g. when wanting to divide stuff that is TRUE from those that are FALSE.
but yeah, inverting the alphabetical order was my main/first thought.

Ok, I made all columns sortable. I don't find this particularly useful but as it's not intrusive I made the change to please you ;)
