Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
To get an overview of the direct contents of a single folder my eyes have to skip over the sub folders and pick out single files.
Describe the solution you'd like
sort_by_mime: inode/directory would be automatically grouped.
The sort order would list them first.
Extra:
It does not matter much whether files or directories are listed first as long as they are grouped.
Ideally we could toggle the sort order, allowing to put files first or last, but always grouped.
It would be nice be able to toggle order for the other sorts as well (sort_by_count, sort_by_date, sort_by_size).
A new verb could be introduced: toggle_sort_order / tso that applies to all current sorts.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Add a setting that just lists files before folders (direct implementation that is not a generalized mime sort).
Additional context
Like ls --group-directories-first.
