Well, since I'm not a mc developer, I shall not answer to such question, since
I thing that such interesting patch would worth being merged to the sources,
and I don't think that sorting by name implies sorting by name+version.
IMO it would worth trying to complete the patch to cover all the GUI/storage
issues, maybe asking to Pavel or anyone who know mc mechanisms to have a look
at the patch?
Thanks a lot for your response!
