I am thinking about what the proposal should be. Perhaps to sort by type of change? On *nix I have become accustomed to typing "svn st | sort -r" to print modified "M", then deleted "D", then added "A" but this is far from perfect for a variety of reasons. And it doesn't work on Windows unless one installs a *nix version of sort that has the -r switch.
