I updated to hrev57560. Now the wireless menu isn't listed sorted by signal strength like before.

Presumably a regression from hrev57533.

The compare functions for std::stable_sort and BList are different. Instead of the typical signed value to know if a is less than, equal to or greater than b, stable_sort just reads a boolean saying whether a < b. Changing CompareSignalStrength to return bStrength < aStrength (and strncasecmp < 0) seems to work, but maybe the signature should also be changed?

Indeed signature should be: bool cmp(const Type1& a, const Type2& b);

We can change it but then it isn't quite compatible with the previous API. Is that acceptable? I guess so, if the function did not yet get too much use in existing software.
