Files ignores "Sort folders before files" on search
that setting broke on eb1a956c
the logic is that files or folder inside the search directory should be displayed first. however that breaks all the rest cases, ignores a very important user preference (since Files is a very "search oriented" app), plus a user already knows (expects) that files will be always displayed below the folders, no matter the depth ranking
two solutions i can think of
- A. a new option in settings for the Search view, "Sort folders before files"
- B. only results of the current directory could display first with some sort of indicator
in any case, i believe the previous behavior, felt more natural in use
