Comment 4 for bug 112170

I think that the correct behavior would be to not rearrange the files after
their filetype is corrected. In the example video I attached, the task I was
trying to accomplish was to select a large continuous number of files in
that directory but I was unable to since each time I picked the anchor file
for a shift-click selection, it would be resorted to the top of the
directory. So for both performance and usability concerns, I think the
browser should simply sort by extension and leave it at that.
