I'm quite upset as to why MC 4.8.28 has changed the Sort order shortcut in
the menu from S to O.
Is there any justification for that? Could we get the old shortcut back?
There's nothing else which uses the S character in the F9 menu.
"S" has been used for for over two decades, now it doesn't work.

Comment (by birdie):
There's no SFTP in Midnight Commander 4.8.28 in Fedora 36.
SFTP is not such a popular protocol to change the **20 year old
defaults**.
Whatever, looks like you don't care.

Comment:
In the "SFTP link..." menu item there are at least seven more characters
to use.
Let's check:
* K is not used anywhere else
* N is not used anywhere else
Yeah, let's break what people are used to. Have you become the Gnome
project followers?

Replying to [comment:5 andrew_b]:
Is it possible to use N or K for SFTP please?
I've used the S shortcut for sorting for 20 years. I totally don't like
how someone has decided to break decades old shortcuts.
