Description

Sometimes the order that regions appear in a genome is not alphabetical order, and a few users have asked for them to be displayed in genome order.

Add a sort order override field, but default to using the name field.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by searching for region sorting and the definition of region fields, then find related tests; the work is done when an optional sort-order override is supported and regions still default to sorting by name.
