[pyddr-devel] Added level sorting to songselect.py

Thank you for liking the idea. As you might have guessed I'm not used
quite at home with svn, so thanks for the advice. Using diff/patch
proved to be a pain. I trust this will be better.

Yep, it should. I'll ban anything nonstandard to the end of the 
displayed list.

You are right. The main problem is that I still don't quite grasp how
difficulty levels are indicated and transported to the dance performing
section. I did not use it sofar, so I could live with it. I have an idea
that might work to figure this out, if not I'll post the question.
Unfortunately, I'll have to go with the first player's difficulty
selection though, I can't please both, but then level sorting is most
usefull in single player mode anyway.

I'll give it a go, hopefully tomorrow. I hope to have things ready some
time next week, depends on how difficult sorting out 1. is.

Thanks for the comments and advice,

Yours,
