Rashi on Genesis
יצחק וישמעאל ISAAC AND ISHMAEL — From this we gather that Ishmael repented of his evil ways (cf.Bava Batra 16b) and yielded the precedence to Isaac. This is what is meant by the “good old age” mentioned in connection with Abraham (Genesis Rabbah 38:12).

Radak on Genesis
ויקברו אותו יצחק וישמעאל בניו, seeing they were more honoured than his other sons and had been more beloved by him. This is why they took upon them themselves the procedures connected with their father’s burial even though the sons of Keturah were also in this region. Alternately, Avraham had already sent those sons away during his lifetime so that only Yitzchok and Ishmael remained in the region.

Haamek Davar on Genesis
His sons Yitzchok and Yishmael. Avraham informed Yishmael of Hashem’s decree that although he was his son in all other ways, with respect to Yitzchok it was as if he was a stranger. From the fact that he accepted this bitter message the Sages derived that he was a true penitent.

From here ... that Yishmael repented... Rashi is answering the question: Why does Scripture mention Yitzchok before Yishmael, when Yishmael was older?

יצחק וישמעאל , “both Yitzchok and Yishmael;” even though Yishmael was the senior son of Avraham, in fact his firstborn, Yitzchok is mentioned first as he was born by Avraham’s principal wife. Yishmael, after all was the son of a slavewoman.

Radak on Genesis
'אל מרת המכפלה אל שדה וגו, the expression אל מערת is equivalent to the word במערת “in the cave of.” We find a similar expression in Exodus 25,21 concerning the Holy Ark. There are many more examples of this formulation.
