ummm... as for nicklist modes @ + % ~ etc depending on network im not sure about, why u would want this feature disabled i dont know, the nicklist nickname list is already sorted A-Z with the Exception of nicks with [ ] in which are above the A's and Nicks with | in will be right at the bottom.
as for Nickname colors in ur Nickname list for IRCOP that can be done with a simple Code some scripts already have built in.. like Peace and Protection.
Hope this helps ..
