class views_handler_sort_menu_hierarchy in Views (for Drupal 7) 7.3

Sort in menu hierarchy order.

Given a field name of 'p' this produces an ORDER BY on p1, p2, ..., p9; and optionally injects multiple joins to {menu_links} to sort by weight and title as well.

This is only really useful for the {menu_links} table.
