Note that this DOES work. The issue is the instructions are wrong.
sort_method="SortCatFld::Sort" is the correct usage. You absolutely need the undersecorel

Running MT 4.21, I've got the plugin installed, and have added the sort_method attribute. I can see the sort interface, but there is no "save changes" button as described. I've tried making changes to the sort order, then going to the plugin settings and using the "save changes" button there, but still my changes are not preserved. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks!

Here is a template module that enables you to sort entry categories as well: http://pastie.org/366310.
I'd liked to implement it into the plugin itself, but as my Perl skills are... let's say: limited... :)
