Resorting the DB just to get the games list sorted is actually not a 
good idea. Two point immediately come to my mind:

- it breaks bookmarks. (As far as I can see they rely on the game number 
+ the path to the database. Not perfect as they are broken once you move 
the base as well, but they are a very handy feature and at least I don't 
move around bases to often.)

- you loose the tree cache. Given the fact that it takes about an hour 
to calculate and write the tree cache for my ref base it would be very 
ugly if it gets lost by some clicking at the wrong place. (Yes, I add 
some more lines to the cache than the Scid default, I index "my 
openings" a bit deeper and with more variations.)
