Save files listed by date [IMPLEMENTED]

This should benefit all mods, generally; so I don't think there would be a need to put this change under a special config option.

Currently, when one goes to the Load/Save screen, the save files are listed alphabetically; and it may be hard sometimes for the player to remember what the most recent save was, after not playing for a couple of days.

In the original WC: Privateer game that inspired Vegastrike, save files were listed in chronological order; most recent at the top. I would suggest this should be the default/only behavior.

it will require a bit of extra coding to look at mtime, like a call to stat() on each file, but I think this is a really good idea.

I'll try and do this when I get motivated

YEY!

How about using save "slots"? This way, players are the ones who define their order.

I personally prefer this method. The number of slots don't even have to be limited. A new page could simply be created for slots past the first ten or twenty.

Or some neat buttons like 'sort by slot', 'sort by date', 'sort by name' and what else you can think of
