Details:

When using case-sensitive sort, files in any "special" characters like "." or
"_" in it (especially files with those characters at start) are sorted as
expected:

/__important
/a
/g
/z 

But when I turn on case-insensitive mode (since case of my files is somewhat
mixed, it is hard to find myfiles in case-insensitive mode) I get something
like this:

/a
/g
/__important
/z 

the "__important" is sorted wrong, it should be on top of the list". mc
probably ignores nonalphanumeric characters, ending up with wrong sort of
files.

I think the sort needs to be fixed. If the "only alphanumeric" sort is
desired for some people, then I think it needs another option to
enable/disable that.
