Hmm, strange. I didn't have any addons loaded, just BAF and PMC. I unpacked with Eliteness.

This will show mission in browser like e.g co03_dirty_deed, sorted by mission type, then amount of players, then name. I've always hated the option to alter mission/file name there, hard to find the right mission in speed.
Yeah that came to my mind too. But perhaps better way is to just clear the name field. If it's empty then the server will show the real filename anyway. Then it wouldn't matter if the filename is changed sometime laters.
Just a thought; with some basic programming knowledge it might be possible the make a batch file that would unpack ALL server missions and automatically clear the mission name field in description.ext (or wherever it's stored). Oh damn - this would actually be major improvement for the missions browsing!
