If the id is "[0-9a-z]\.[0-9a-z]\.[0-9a-z]", with the proper (node_id,
copy_id, txn_id) order, then the default lexical sort will work the same
way. +1 for getting rid of the custom sort, and using next-id.

With a bit of luck, the change may not even require a reload. But even
if it does, IMNSHO we should try to support the stock db_dump/db_load.
