This doesn't sound like a very appealing idea.  The items returned by
a BTree are not a list, and I don't see much value in making them look
more like builtin lists (the only object with a sort() method).
Perhaps you could write a sort() helper function that sorted a
sequence in place and then test explicitly for lists in that function.

def sort(seq):
    if isinstance(seq, list):
        seq.sort()
    return seq
