As far as I can tell from a quick venture into views-2.0, it doesn't support sorting either =(
Supposedly in view-1.0 you can sort when you're using a table output, but I haven't played around with this yet, nor do I want a table output (but I assume you could use a table view and then re-write the output with the theme engine to steal the sorting feature).
Sometimes things in Drupal are too round about though and you need to get "lazy" and do stuff for yourself instead of relying on modules for everything. I think views make me waste more time than they ever save me anyways.
