3905	Version sort does not handle tilde	yurikhan		"'''Versions:''' mc 4.8.15 on Ubuntu 16.04.

'''To reproduce:'''

0. F7 `firefox-58.0.1+build1` Enter
1. F7 `firefox-59.0~b14+build1` Enter
2. F7 `firefox-59.0.1+build1` Enter
3. F9 Enter | `Sort order`, `(*) Version`, `[ ] Reverse`, `OK`

'''Observed behavior:''' in the Midnight Commander panel, the order is:

{{{
firefox-58.0.1+build1
firefox-59.0.1+build1
firefox-59.0~b14+build1
}}}

4. `$ ls -1v`

'''Observed behavior:''' in the `ls` output, the order is:

{{{
firefox-58.0.1+build1
firefox-59.0~b14+build1
firefox-59.0.1+build1
}}}

'''Expected behavior:''' Midnight Commander ordering should be consistent with `ls`.

'''Background:''' The tilde character in version numbers is specified [https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#s-f-version by Debian Policy] to come before everything, even the end of a version component. And I checked, `ls` implements it natively, it’s not a Debian-specific patch."	enhancement	closed	major	4.8.23	mc-core	4.8.15	fixed	panel sort		3956		no branch
