In Dspace 1.5.2, anyway, the sql for listing communities is in the class
org.dspace.content.Community; search for "ORDER BY". There are four pertinent
sql statements, returning lists of all communities, top-level communities,
sub-communities and collections within communities. There's a statement in
org.dspace.content.Collection that returns a list of all collections. You
should be able to do overlays of these classes that change the ordering; but I
haven't tried it and don't know if there are any gotchas lurking in the wings.

This is how we order the articles within an issue. So if you could add this to
the metadata by extending your schema you might be able to do the sort yourself
(I'm not sure how easy/difficult that would be to do).
