As an interested user, one that has no real possibility of contributing to mc with patches but still reads this list, this is one of the highest items on my wishlist for mc. Very very often I go F9+s+Down+Downp+SPACE+Return to change sort order, I'd really like that with just one keypress.
That is most annoying for me too. I have already created a patch (in attachment) that allow sorting by CTRL+F3 thru CTRL+F9 (FAR-compatible keyboarsd shortcuts for sorting :). Unfortunately, it was not accepted when I sent it in first time about 3 years ago - the patch I'm sending now is modified to merge cleanly with current CVS version. Disadvantage is that the keys do not work on all terminals (maybe they have trouble sending CTRL+Fx), so maybe some other keys can be used for that. Martin Petricek
