we have implemented something like this on our site, but it requires 
that you add a 'sort items' field on sections. Then the folder contents 
portlet almost already supports the sorting of items (see 
getFolderItems.py) , so you'll have to customize the page template 
associated with it (i.e. create a custom portlet) to make it read the 
information from the current section.

I can send you the code if you want.
