That is the way the tree view works -- it neither is an explorer nor
pretends to be one. Of course this doesn't mean it's not possible to
do what you want: just modify a bit the snippet your already have:

    (add-hook 'sr-start-hook
              '(lambda ()
                 (let ((selected sr-selected-window))
                   (sr-select-window 'left)
                   (unless (eq major-mode 'sr-tree-mode)
                     (sr-tree-view)
                     (unless sr-synchronized (sr-sync)))
                   (sr-select-window selected))))

but the philosophy behind Sunrise is actually quite different, so if
what you're after is an explorer-style FM, be aware that Sunrise may
disappoint you after some time. What I mean by the philosophy behind
Sunrise is best described here:
