Add instanceNumber sorting for clitkDicom2Image

Sometimes (eg: with MR from HEH), the basic algorithm is not sufficient to sort dicom slices
It is the case when multiples sequences are in the same image, the z position is the same for a same slice in all sequences, it creates conflict
In such a case, we can sort slices according instanceNumber
