Thanks for looking into it. I tried it and this patch works for the sorting of images inside an archive. Unfortunately my problem was the sorting of archives inside a directory.
I guess this means mcomix doesn't consider my locale for sorting. I have a fresh installation of Ubuntu and my locale is a mix of German and English. chrm@chrm-desktop:~$ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_ALL= chrm@chrm-desktop:~/test$...
It's still happening. To give some more context, it's very disorienting when the sorting order is not the same as in the filemanager. Imagine you open the first archive in a directory from the filemanager and then go through all the archives with 'next-archive'. You will not necessarily see all archives. I'm on Linux and 'ls' and probably all other filemanager use that order. You are probably on Windows and that uses the other order?

This thread was mainly for me and the next time I have to reinstall my system. Turns out that time is now. I'm glad someone else found it usefull. @Marcus Duck: do cp mcomix-x.y/mime/mcomix.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/mcomix.desktop
tar -xzf mcomix-x.y.tar.gz cd mcomix-x.y sudo apt install python2.7 python-gtk2 python-pilkit python-setuptools sudo python2 setup.py install
