I am going to partially answer my own question here. I did some research and found that you can configure Lighttpd to use a php file to generate it's output for directory listings. I found a script (dir-generator.php) and it worked well at making Apache style sortable directory listings.
However, the parameters passed when you click on the heading were different then the ones that Apache uses. So the regex that MirrorBrain looks for is not there. I did some quick mods to the script, and got the parameter names and values to match the ones that Apache uses. Now the sorting sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't - I think it has something to do with using ';' as the delimiter between parameters vs using '&'. I may look at it later tonight. But regardless of whether the sort works or not, the directory listing on archserver.cptl.org should now contain the proper regex. So Phil - do you want to give it another try with my server, to see if it can now me index by MirrorBrain?
