Motivation
It is not uncommon for a course to have 100+ objects. Some contain close to 1000. Currently these objects don't appear in any specific order in the contents view. This makes finding a particular object in a large course very difficult, especially since objects can only be displayed 20 at a time. Allowing the contents view to be sorted would give content producers a way to find specific content much more efficiently.
Proposal
Course contents should be sortable by title, size, date modified, or release state.
Implementation
While in the contents view, clicking on a table header should allow the contents to be sorted by that column (either title, size, date modified, or release state).
