No, it simply does the sort.
But: when you click the first time (on any column) it has to resort
completely unsorted items. If you click the second time, it only has to
resort already sorted items which is much faster.
And another thing that contributes to the slowdown on first-sort: memory
allocation. To do the sort, we allocate memory before the sort. The
first time we do this, that allocation takes much more time than
subsequent sorts.

The problem with this approach is that there would be no way of getting
the items shown in the original order anymore after you've sorted by any
column.
The order in which items are shown the first time or after refreshes is
the order that the svn library returns the data. This isn't really
sorted by path.
So the only way to get that original order is to refresh the view.
Thinking about that, maybe we can keep the order if the refresh happens
automatically and only lose the sort order in case the refresh is done
manually.
