Dired update sucks

I'm using dired version Value: "7.10" with Value: "21.1 (patch 14) \"Cuyahoga Valley\" XEmacs Lucid". Since I last updated packages dired really sucks. First problem is it keeps screwing up the listing so that the columns don't align. Hitting 'g' fixes it. Second, copying a file to another in the same directory inserts it into the listing at an apparantly random location, rather than alphabetical. All in all, I think the previous version (which I never had any problem with) was better.
