    66> But this swap happens only when the column following the name column is numeric-only (size, inode, ...). If column contains not only digits (perm, mtime, owner, ...), columns are not swapped.

    8 Firstly, I am not sure how you configure MC to show the column following the name column not numeric-only. Before writing down how I got it, I would like to mention I suspect the problem is not only the swapping of the columns. It could be related to the incosistency in justification of RTL,such as Hebrew, file names. I tried to change my MC into {{{Left ⇒ Listing Format… ⇒ Long file list}}}. And justification of RTL file names in the Name column, which were prevoiusly right justified, became left justified. Getting back into {{{Left ⇒ Listing Format… ⇒ Full file list}}} changed it back to right justification. I think this is too a bidi issue. Which is probably done, or should be mostly done, by the bidi layer of the underlying terminal.

    1010I used [https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/295846/how-can-i-set-the-default-user-defined-listing-mode-in-midnight-commander how can i set the default user defined listing mode in midnight commander] and [http://www.softpanorama.org/OFM/MC/mc_tips.shtml#Creating__Custom_Format  Creating Custom Format] to get a non numeric only column after the file names column. I stored a suitable format in {{{.config/mc/panels.ini}}}. And after exiting and reactivating MC, I could activate that format at {{{Left ⇒ Listing Format… ⇒ User defined}}}. And the outcome was like you wrote. No columns were swapped. However, in my case, the justification of the Hebrew file names changed as well. They became left justified. I guess the same happened to you. But you forgot to mention it. Possibly because perhaps that is what you are used to.
