@moniquelive you are now the SME on sorting, I'd be grateful for your review and test. |

@moniquelive should we sort folders by suffix? Does that make any sense?

it's not very usual, but sometimes you may have folders with suffixes to disambiguate their names such as .tmp, .old, .bkp, etc. But I believe people will want to turn this directory-grouping-by-suffix on or off. Should this be another setting? This is getting fractal pretty quickly... 👀

We have too many options... I'm happy for this to be opinionated.
Other sort methods apply the same rules to folders and files, this should too.

Tried it, it looked odd, abandoned.
