Fix Data.List.sortOn documentation

The sortOn documentation says:

@sortOn f@ is equivalent to @sortBy . comparing f@

but this is not correct (it does not type-check). It should say:

@sortOn f@ is equivalent to @sortBy (comparing f)@

changed weight to 5

added Tbug Trac import core libraries labels

I would submit a patch myself, but it will take me time to set everything up and it's such a small change, I'm hoping it's easy enough for somebody else to do it. If not, let me know, and I'll do it.
