+	* completer.py: Applied Matthew Neeley's patch:
+        Dynamic attributes from trait_names and _getAttributeNames are added
+        to the list of tab completions, but when this happens, the attribute
+        list is turned into a set, so the attributes are unordered when
+        printed, which makes it hard to find the right completion. This patch
+        turns this set back into a list and sort it.
