It wouldn't kill me (or distros)...

but I think the user experience is enhanced with this.  I myself get confused 
sometimes when using JuK about where a song went since I'm assuming the list 
view is sorted (since all the songs I can see are sorted) when there is 
actually no sort column, and the apparent sorting was just coincidental.

Ever since the patch was applied to kdelibs I don't have that problem.

Well this should obviously be considered. ;)  But I think this is a very 
useful feedback mechanism.  But those are just my thoughts, what do other 
people think?
