Please try out the Alt-Sort by e.g. 'accessed'.
The Date/Time column in FW changes according to your choice and
displays the selected date/time values, e.g. last-accessed for all files !!

I'm nearly sure this is far too much change for the ZTree code.

This has indeed been implemented for the date/time column.
I guess, coding this for the size column is feasible with not too much effort.

Agreed. Should be shown
- in the Alt-Sort menu, as well as
- in the border, like current |npW|, but would need an additional character.

Agreed.

Yes you are right. My mistake...
Switching Date/Time display is done _per F4, within Alt-Sort menu.
A free sub-Function Key should be added to toggle between size "On-Disk" or "normal".
Alt-Sort menu could show e.g. "F7 Size (on disk)" rsp. "F7 Size (normal )"
(F7 is a quick suggestion for the toggle key, has to be reviewed!)
