Thanks for the support.  I have wanted this feature forever and I 
finally sucked it up and went ahead and coded it.

That being said, it looks like the output of the albums (if 'name' 
sorting is selected in Ansel) is completely alphabetical - that is, it 
completely ignores the structure of the gallery tree.  i.e. this 
gallery tree:

D
+- B
   +- A
      +- C

is rendered in the select drop-down as:

      A
   B
         C
D

which is alphabetically correct, but not very intuitive.  I know there 
are several of you out there who know DataTree much better than I do 
(Ben?  Duck?) so my question is 1) is there a way to sort by name and 
maintain the tree structure and 2) if there isn't, how hard would it be 
to add this?
