I recently wrote a program to sort manual-page file names in the order that they would appear in the book.
intro.2
membarrier.2
umask.2
intro.3
printf.3
id_t.3type
useconds_t.3type

Something similar could be written to implement your sorterrors program. It's such a niche thing, and different programs format errors slightly differently, that I don't think it would make much sense to add a sort(1) option. But it would make sense to write your own script if it's useful to you.
