Maildir flag sorting plan
Sort and deduplicate filename flags while detecting target-name collisions.

Example resultAa — A small example of your colors.
How it works
Sort the distinct ASCII flag letters after :2,. Retain custom letters and compare proposed filenames for collisions.
123.host:2,SR becomes 123.host:2,RS; the already sorted second filename stays as supplied.
Limits
Produces a rename plan only; no files are moved. Path components and controls are excluded. Custom flags are retained without guessing their local keyword mapping.
