Not 100% sure we want this, but... 

When add-ons are shown in a list, we sort the enabled ones first and the disabled ones last. With bug 549697, we have a new intermediate state of "ask me". It may make sense to take that into account when sorting plugins - and sort the "ask me" state in between the equivalents of enabled and disabled. With the current patch in bug 549697, they're sorted the same as enabled plugins.
Boriss: Thoughts?

Vaguely remember some agreement over this.

Will need to update sortElements() in toolkit/mozapps/extensions/content/extensions.js

Add-ons are of a type, as determined by their 'type' property. Add-on types also have a set of properties, that define how that specific type should behave - you can look this up via AddonManager.addonTypes - which is a hash mapping the type ID (a string) to a AddonType object. An AddonType object has a 'flags' property, which is a bitfield. If it includes TYPE_SUPPORTS_ASK_TO_ACTIVATE, then such an add-on's 'userDisabled' property can have the value STATE_ASK_TO_ACTIVATE.

We want add-ons in the ask-to-activate state to be sorted so they come directly after enabled add-ons.

Nit: Now days we can use .endsWith(), which makes this a lot cleaner - see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/endsWith

Use .endsWith instead of .substring in test files, based on :Unfocused suggestion.
