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.
