This has been fixed in SVN revision 24414.  It now uses the default 
sorting for numeric/text columns.  This should be sufficient for most 
fields at least.  If anyone finds a case where it isn't, let us know and 
we can add a custom column sorting function to gtk/packet_list.c in the 
packet_list_compare() function of some sort.
