[ALOY-826] Required ListSections always come first

Description

Steps to reproduce

Create a new app: titanium create -p ios -n testSessions -d . --id test.Sessions

Make it an alloy app: cd testSessions && alloy new

For the index.xml use:

    <Alloy>
        <Window>
            <ListView>
                <ListSection>
                    <ListItem title="One" />
                    <ListItem title="Two" />
                    <ListItem title="Three" />
                </ListSection>
                <Require src="section" />
            </ListView>
        </Window>
    </Alloy>
    

Create a second view called section.xml with:

    <Alloy>
        <ListSection>
            <ListItem title="Required" />
        </ListSection>
    </Alloy>
    

Compile and build the app to a device: titanium build -p ios -T device

Run the app and see *Required* comes before *One, Two, Three*, as shown in attached screenshot.

Open the compiled Resources/alloy/controllers/index.js to see that indeed the code for the required section comes before the inline ones.

3. Tim Poulsen 2014-01-21 I can confirm the behavior reported on this ticket. Testcase: I followed the steps described by Fokke: 1. New Alloy app (I used Studio, not the CLI as described) 2. Two controllers: index & section, with XML as provided in the ticket 3. Build for iOS Simulator. My output matches the attached screen.
