Sort By Type not work on link file type

[Hernawan Fa'iz Abdillah]

How to Reproduce?
1. Open nautilus
2. Select a folder which contains, in my case, image and link file to image.
3. Change to list view
4. Sort by type

Expected?
Image file type and Link-to-image file type should be grouped.

Happened?
Files (image and link-to-image file) are sorted only by its name (as by default) and not grouped.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

This is fixed by a commit upstream (I'm assuming this means it'll get into GNOME 3.30 and Ubuntu 18.10), I'll test to see if I can reproduce the bug or not in the Files Nightly Flatpak soon...
