The manual is about current Org mode and 6.21b did just support sorting,
converting and deleting footnotes.  So no renumbering in 6.21b.

I've tried to sort and it works: The footnotes in the footnote section
are sorted by their appearance in the main text.  E.g.

Create the new list item by pressing M-RET.
