Closes #4533 (partly at least) Release Notes: - Added `project_panel.sort_mode` option to control explorer file sort (directories first, mixed, files first) ## Summary Adds three sorting modes for the project panel to give users more control over how files and directories are displayed: - **`directories_first`** (default): Current behaviour - directories grouped before files - **`mixed`**: Files and directories sorted together alphabetically - **`files_first`**: filed grouped before directories ## Motivation Users coming from different editors and file managers have different expectations for file sorting. Some prefer directories grouped at the top (traditional), while others prefer the macOS Finder-style mixed sorting where "Apple1/", "apple2.tsx" and "Apple3/" appear alphabetically mixed together. ### Screenshots New sort options in settings: <img width="515" height="160" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8f4e6668-6989-4881-a9bd-ed1f4f0beb40" /> Directories first | Mixed | Files first -------------|-----|----- <img width="328" height="888" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/308e5c7a-6e6a-46ba-813d-6e268222925c" /> | <img width="327" height="891" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8274d8ca-b60f-456e-be36-e35a3259483c" /> | <img width="328" height="890" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3c3b1332-cf08-4eaf-9bed-527c00b41529" /> ### Agent usage Copilot-cli/claude-code/codex-cli helped out a lot. I'm not from a rust background, but really wanted this solved, and it gave me a chance to play with some of the coding agents I'm not permitted to use for work stuff --------- Co-authored-by: Smit Barmase <heysmitbarmase@gmail.com>
