Adds a check-box toolbar action to the Launch Configurations dialog that toggles the tree sort order between alphabetical-by-type (the existing default) and most-recently-launched within each type group.

When launch configurations share similar names or there are many of them, finding the one you recently ran to re-launch it or tweak its parameters means scanning an alphabetical list every time. This toggle re-sorts the tree so your most recently used configurations rise to the top of each type group, making them faster to find. The number of configurations considered "recent" is governed by the existing "Size of recently launched applications list:" preference, so users who increase that limit will see a broader recency-based sort order.
