Bug Description

As discussed on slack:

@danrabbit: just something I noticed in pantheon files, what do you think about maybe adding an option to file sorting to threat folders & files equally?
Daniel Foré 18:49
You mean as in mixing in folders with files?
Fabian Thoma 18:49
exactly
Daniel Foré 18:50
Why would you want that?
Fabian Thoma 18:50
it's especially useful when naming things by date, like lectures in class etc.
Daniel Foré 18:50
oh interesting
Fabian Thoma 18:51
but ofc default to handling them the same, just make it an option like the reverse sort
Daniel Foré 18:51
I mean I guess the "sort by" menu isn't crazy complicated. Could add a checkbox like "Separate files and folders" or something
