Description

Originally submitted to Google Code by andreas.brain on 20 Feb 2012

The 'sorting keywords' functionality that was added in 0.41 provides the possibility for undo/redo. The according commands are pushed to the stacks, but the entries in the menu stay disabled.

From IRC:

mkorpela:
There are multiple undo stacks
seems like commands started from the tree aren't currently undoable
if the code works on your gitrepo we could take a look at it tommorrow
-- and we could also add an issue about making undo work from the tree

Research direction

Start by tracing the tree commands involved in sorting keywords and the multiple undo stacks mentioned in the issue, then inspect how the undo/redo menu entries are enabled. Done means actions started from the tree can be undone and redone, with the corresponding menu commands no longer disabled.
