LYNX-DEV anyone know the solution to the problem with lynx 2-6FM and ftp directory sorting?

[Larry W. Virden, x2487]

I am using lynx 2-6FM CHANGES as of 01-10-97.  I compiled it on a 
SPARC/Solaris 2.4 using Sun's unbundled C compiler and the solaris2-ncurses
Makefile action.

When I access YYY lynx http://www.perl.org/CPAN/authors/
I see the following.  Notice that the directories are not sorted in order,
even though, in my lynxrc file, I have:

# The file_sorting_method specifies which value to sort on when viewing
# file lists such as FTP directories.  The options are:
#    BY_FILENAME -- sorts on the name of the file
#    BY_TYPE     -- sorts on the type of the file
#    BY_SIZE     -- sorts on the size of the file
#    BY_DATE     -- sorts on the date of the file
file_sorting_method=BY_DATE


I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution.
