Description
To recreate the problem:
- Sort the files on date, newest on top.
- Rename the top file.
- Now the file is removed from top and is put (what I believe) at the bottom of the file list.
- After a while, or after pressing Ctrl-R, the file list is correctly sorted again.
Annoying that the file disappears for a while when renaming.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the dual-pane file manager by sorting files by date, renaming the top file, and observing the list before and after Ctrl-R. Trace the rename handling together with the file-list sorting or refresh behavior; done means the renamed file remains in the correct position immediately after renaming.
