Hi!
I worked out a patch (very tiny BTW -- thanks to good style of MC
sources) which fixes the problem.
The idea is trivial -- "ad" and "bd" flags change from boolean to
integers (they are integers anyway, because of "bd-ad"), and "ISDIR" gets
bigger weight than "is-dot-file".
The patch is against mc-4.5.54.
I'm crossposting it to mc-devel (sorry if it isn't needed).
As to case mixing in name sort, there is a "FIXME" note just before
#define string_sortcomp, so somebody obviously realized the problem before,
but yet with no solution.
