I've got checked box in:
Explorer Panel Settings > Sorting and Columns > Automatically re-sorts files and folders after a manual rename operation.
but that doesn't work.

I mean, I change file name from b_something to d_something and it stays in the file list at the same position, instead of moving down.
I need to refresh view.
Same with folders.

Is there any other setting I should tick?

As much changes that the latest release had I would not be surprised if that broke.  I will check later today

No. it re-sort for me when I rename a file.. You sure you are sorting on name column ? (I made the mistake my self first to not switch to sort by 'name' )
it is normal filesystem. not inside a virtual one like FTP or something ? can you describe how you do the rename (There are many multiple way to do rename in MC) .

Yes, sorting on Name column checked.
Tried renaming by:
- clicking on file (Windows explorer style)
- Rename current file/folder
- by custom:
  #options (RunSeparate)
  MC.Filesystem.Rename ASKNAME

Effect is always the same - name is changed, nothing happens with sorting, but after refreshing view or refocusing MC, list is resorted.

Files on hard drive, inside system (like Download folder), no virtual or net.

Strange. I can't make it not work.
Try turning the option "Automatically re-sort...." Off.. then save setting..  and then turn it back on again and save settings
