Just in case you'll get back to XML/XSLT, here's a simple configuration to
sort the files:

location / {
    autoindex on;
    autoindex_format xml;
    xslt_stylesheet conf/sort.xslt;
    root html;
}

sort.xslt:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
        <body>
            <table border="1">
                <xsl:for-each select="list/*">
                    <xsl:sort select="text()"/>
                    <tr>
                        <td><xsl:value-of select="text()"/></td>
                        <td><xsl:value-of select="@mtime"/></td>
                        <td><xsl:value-of select="@size"/></td>
                    </tr>
                </xsl:for-each>
            </table>
        </body>
    </html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
