Sort Views to display Unconfirmed Faces together

[Maik Qualmann]

Hi Kartik,

To sort faces you need the information about confirmed and unconfirmed faces 
in the ItemInfo class. The ItemInfo class does not currently provide this 
information. The sorting of faces must not affect the other views. Are the 
latest sort changes already in the branch? I'll take a closer look at your 
branch at the weekend.
