I like my inventory (the response to the 'i' command) to be sorted, so
that all weapons appear together, all armor appears together, etc.
This mod does that. All weapons appear first, followed by all armor,
followed by food and corpses, then gems, then scrolls, then potions,
then wands, then rings, then apply-able items. This order can be
revised by changing the string SORTOBJS.
This code contains many more comments than the original. I find that I
can't hack a hack routine unless I first comment it so I can see what
I'm doing.
