This adds two config directives for sorting vsdlist (sd card file list) on a LCD connected to the printer (dumb character display).

I've seen this asked around the web, got it working on my klipper installation.

Now you can add "sort_reverse" and "sort_by_date" to a menu config and have the files sorted by date or alphabetically, also in reverse.

Example config:

#override default SD Card menu
[menu __main __sdcard]
type: vsdlist
enable: {('virtual_sdcard' in printer)}
name: Files to Print
sort_reverse: True
sort_by_date: True

This adds two config directives for sorting vsdlist (sd card file list)
on a LCD connected to the printer (dumb character display).

Add "sort_by_date: True" to a vsdlist menu config to have the files
sorted by date chronologically. If not present or "False" then files will
be sorted alphabetically just as before.

Add "sort_reverse: True" to a vsdlist menu config to have the files
sorted in reverse order (descending). If not present or "False" then the
files will be sorted in ascending order just as before.

By setting both "sort_by_date" and "sort_reverse" to "True" files will be
sorted in reverse chronological order (newest first).

Please note the file timestamp (date) is taken from the filesystem and some
filesystems may have broken timestamps on subsequent writes.
