Merging template fields not working properly: template cache is getting dirty

[gabipetrovay]

The client template cache must only contain clean templates. The merging must always be merged on request. This is because different roles perform different actions on templates. Also some modules want merge some non-merged links.

We have this situation that a link requires no sorting for some merged fields. But disabling sorting on these fields, will disable the sorting globally on the merge template.

So we have to take care that the template cache remains unchanged when templates are fetched and processed from it.
