If you're not going to have a lot of folders, you could manually assign
them a property called 'priority' or something..
Then sort by it like this:
        <dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])" sort=priority>

slightly cumbersome, but as far as i know, the only way to prioritize
things without sorting by any of the attributes the folders aready have.
