Folder objects are ordered nicely in the right management window of the ZMI but if you look at the tree on the left side all folders are ordered alphabetically.  According to my question in the Zope mailing list Maik Jablonski provided the following solution:

- Create a PythonScript (just one line of code) in the Root of the ZMI 
  with id = bobobase_object_position:

return context.aq_parent.objectValues().index(context)

- Then patch Zope/lib/python/App/dtml/menu.dtml and change

<dtml-tree nowrap=1>

to

<dtml-tree nowrap=1 sort=bobobase_object_position>

This worked for me and it would be nice if this would be implemented in upstream Zope.
