[Bug 342332] Re: vlc crash with SIGABRT

[petski]

The cause of the issue is that
modules/gui/qt4/components/playlist/sorting.h::i_column_sorting is being
called with i_column = 0 from PLModel::sort. This case isn't catched in
the switch, so the default is taken: abort().

I've made a small patch (find it attached) with which vlc will sort by
COLUMN_NUMBER by default, instead of aborting. Probably not the best
solution... I recompiled the vlc package in my PPA and finally I can
startup vlc :).

Follow the instructions at https://launchpad.net/~petski to enable my
PPA in case you want to test the package.
