Enhancement: Support Google Reader feed organization

Google Reader supports folders/sort order customization. This was, at some 
levels, doable with Newsbeuter via the urls order. However, when using Google 
Reader the feeds are sorted alphabetically and structure/Google Reader 
organization vanishes. If the API allows it, please support this or allow some 
way for sorting via  the urls file.

This should also be an Enhancement, not Defect

The order is kept exactly as it is transmitted by the Google Reader API. I will 
take a further look whether additional information on sorting is transmitted, 
though.

The Google Reader "folders" are mapped to newsbeuter's tags, BTW, so you can 
select a folder by pressing "t", and go back to the list of all feeds by 
pressing "ctrl-t".

Ah, OK, this makes things a little easier. When newsbeuter starts I get a list 
of all the threads in alphabetical order. Pressing t from there takes me to the 
tags menu, so that makes things a bit easier to manage. I think that I 
mistakenly assumed that I would get the usual main menu (before using Google 
Reader) with everything sorted the way Google Reader does by default. Either 
way, the ability to filter (exclude/include feeds) and or force sorting might 
be nice to have. Thank you for the obvious clues :)

Something like an expanded tag view might be good idea too. So 't' gets you:

tagName
tagName
tagName
tagName

and maybe ctrl+'t' gets you:

tagName
         *   (8/2) feedName
         * (8/25) feedName
         * (8/25) feedName
tagName
         * (8/25) feedName
         * (8/25) feedName
tagName
         * (0/15) feedName
         * (8/25) feedName
         *   (0/5)  feedName

Keys could be assigned to move down/up via thread or jump up/down between tags. 
Basically this is the already existing thread view displayed grouped by tag.

It would be nice to have the unread number in tag view.

1 tagName1 (20)
2 tagName2 (2)
...
