let the children in order

[jiangwen w <wj...@gmail.com>]

how do you think about let the children in order and provide some API to
access some of all children under a node.
also let the user specify the comparator. order is very important in some
applications.
I am very happy to provide a patch for this.

Sincerely

no timestamp are needed, sort children only by the child name and the
comparator can be specified in a config file for each parent

If the children are added by prefixing a time-stamp, then once the children
are obtained using the existing API, then sorting the obtained children is
easy.

I remember there was once a discussion to provide an API to get the children
in order, don't know what happened to it.

Thanks,
MIS.
