…as Finder refreshing/updating has been fixed in 10.4.

Fixed in what way? I upgraded from Panther to Tiger. Maybe I haven't tested it enough but I haven't noticed any change in folder refreshes.

And unfortunately there's still no simple/official way to sort all folders first and then all files by name, size, etc. Every advancement in the way folders works still leaves this very handy feature lacking.

The update problem hasn't been completely fixed in 10.4. I work daily with a mixed network of Windows and OS X computers and I constantly run into the problem of the Finder not properly updating Samba folders. If I open a folder on a remote Windows machine using Samba, and then the files in that folder are modified from the Windows machine, the Samba folder isn't always updated by the Finder. I've tried every trick and setting I can think to fix this problem, because it is very annoying, but the only one that is 100% effective is to create a new file or folder in the Finder and then delete it, it forces the Finder to flush its cache and reread the folder.
