The standard folder lists its contents in "unspecified" order. In 
practice, it's in order of creation (I think.)

You can get ordered folders, which support changing the order. In fact, 
one ships with Zope in recent versions. Look for "Folder (Ordered)".

What I did before ordered folders was to give each object a property 
(like 'sort_order') with an integer value designating it's place, and 
then sort the list on that property. Not terribly efficient, though 
using the catalog would help.
