Optionally sort reporter messages

It can be useful to have similar class messages grouped together so that
error messages in a larger report don't get lost among the
warning/info/action messages.

This patch allows sorting of messages for dialogs that benefit from
organization.  Default behavior of reporter messages remains
unchanged by this patch.
