Description Ivana Ladenbergerova 2001-06-04 09:07:32 UTC 
I would like to have one more a choice in the "Sorting" property sheet for a 
package in the Explorer view.  The
property "Sort Mode" provides the following options:

    Unsorted
    By Name
    By Type
    By Name (Packages First)

I'm suggesting that there be a fifth choice that acts like I described in
the original report:

    By Name (Files First)

***  [FFJ CUSTBUG] This issue is based on a FFJ customer's bug report ***
Comment 2 Todd Fast 2001-06-04 09:20:56 UTC 
Justification: The only option for sorting directories in the Explorer view is 
directories/packages-first.  MS Visual Studio actually sorts files first, then 
directories.  The advantage of this is that it's very easy to see what package 
a given file is in.  In the directory-first sorting scheme, a file may be 
widely separated from its parent directory by intervening directories, making 
it very hard to see which directory/package a file belongs to.  Please allow an 
additional option for file-first sorting of directories/packages.

I don't think this is worthwhile thing to implement
