sorting of content type lists (by node name)

Looking at:

• admin/node (the filter selection list)
• admin/help#node
• admin/node/configure/types
• node/add

there is always a list of content types appearing. However, these lists are not ordered alphabetically, especially not when you define for example a flexinode type called "url" ("url" will appear between "book page" and "forum topic" for example, because we are sorting on "flexinode-1", while it makes more sense to have a "book page", "forum topic", "url" ordening similar as what appears in the "create content" menu).

The attached patch creates a new function "node_name_list()" which is basically a "node_list()", but sorts this list on the "node_invoke($type, 'node_name')". The patch then uses this function on the four places above.

There are other places where a list of "node types" is given which should also be sorted alphabetically I believe. Eg in "taxonomy.module". If this patch is applied to "node.module" we could "fix" these other places too using the same "node_name_list()" function.

Kind regards,
