I'm not really sure what you mean by hierarchical sort. But we  
haven't planned any sort apart from the available ones (first by  
kind, and second either by name or by size).

...as well as select and drag/drop or double-click on the first column.

MARC (which usually is returned from z39.50 servers) is a pretty  
vaguely defined format and used even more vaguely/inconsistently. We  
try as best as we can to interpret the fields, but that is  
necessarily restricted, as all servers give you something else.
