Sort buffers before grouping

As per conversation from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/owxnp7/using_emacs_75_bufler/h7nquqi/?context=3

Specifically:

Perhaps I need to sort the buffer list prior to invoking bufler?

Users can't do that, but it's an interesting idea that might be a simple way to improve the sorting until a more flexible solution is done. Please feel free to open an issue on the tracker with that idea; I think it would be simple to add.

Perhaps during group definition a preference param could be specified to hint at ordering of the display of the groups; a challenge there is the default groups supplied in bufdler.el are probably what 90% of users would use; perhaps between generating the list and rendering the buffer, an intermediate function could be called which by default just returns the list passed into it, but affords an opportunity for the user to override this function with his own, to effect an ordering? shrug

Thanks.

This will be covered by using the new taxy package in v0.4 of Bufler.
