Subject: [PATCH] Remove AddDefaultGroupToSortOrder check from startup.

The call to AddDefaultGroupToSortOrder in NERD_tree.vim is redundant
because it's also done every time sortChildren is called. And since the
check is done only once, there's no need for a function either.
sortChildren now just contains the needed if statement.
