sort_columns = TRUE does not work #17

I just pulled both the current production version and dev version of fastDummies and neither one currently has sort_columns = TRUE working correctly. For example, if I use this option in your example, I get the following:

> dummy_cols(fastDummies_example, sort_columns = TRUE)
  numbers gender animals      dates gender_ animals_
1       1   male     dog 2012-01-01       0        0
2       2   male     dog 2011-12-31       0        0
3       3 female     cat 2012-01-01       0        0

Can this be fixed?

Thanks. I love this package!

In the new dev version I have removed this parameter and made it the default way of handling factor variables.
