I'm the developer of DashCols – please note that following the [announcement of Craft 2.5](http://buildwithcraft.com/beta), DashCols has been retired (as the 2.5 release will have most of DashCols functionality in core). Unfortunately though, 2.5 won't actually enable you to sort on Entry Type, even if you add it as a column.

Just found this: https://straightupcraft.com/craft-plugins/entry-type-sources, which appears to do exactly what the OP is asking for. Haven't tested it with 2.5, so a word of caution as that update makes some significant changes to Element Index related APIs.
