Nice hack! I also noticed another hack where you can reset the buffer
list by doing M-0 M-x Bufer-menu-sort RET and then followed by g as
well.

Agreed. Unfortunately, tabulated-list-mode is 0-based. So other
modes based on t-l-m might want to sort on the first column (in my
last email I pointed out at the sorting on the current buffer is
pointless). I'd suggest making it 1-based. This would affect Buffer
Menu
M-x buffer-menu -- sort by display time
M-1 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by current buffer (there is none!)
M-2 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by read-only
M-3 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by modification flag
M-4 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by name
M-5 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by size (descending)
M-6 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by mode
M-7 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by file name
M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by the column at point
I forgot to mention the `tabulated-list-sort' command doesn't even
understand a bare C-u argument. Just numeric ones. That should be
fixed as well.
I can work on a patch for all this if it sounds good.
