As someone pointed out, it's a backtick and Ctrl-l. I'll see if I can
conveniently change the font where those key bindings are listed...

ctrl-l is somewhat common and good to remember. I think a bunch of other
Linux programs use it.

I'm pretty sure there's a way - you'll find it in the release notes for
some release in the last 2-3 years. I think I once found some places
that describe how to change them, but it seemed quite painful. I only
/really/ wanted it to be able to sort files rather than having to go to
the menu - but then they allowed sorting by clicking the headers, and
that sufficed.
