- fixed a bug in declarative test which was looking for old version of history

- Added "sorted_tables" accessor to MetaData, which returns
Table objects sorted in order of dependency as a list.
This deprecates the MetaData.table_iterator() method.
The "reverse=False" keyword argument has also been
removed from util.sort_tables(); use the Python
'reversed' function to reverse the results.
