It works in a way that immediate children of HKEY_* nodes are sorted now
regardless of current selection. And order of HKEY_* nodes is fixed. But
yes, this is only a part of what we want, it also has to recurse.

This is correct, wParam does nothing for this message. You can also
confirm that using native comctl32.

Please ignore this patch, it fixes one thing without fixing important part.
