File / directory order in Projects tab

Hi.

I have a question about sort order in in file tree in "Projects" tab in Komodo.
The problem is that than sorting files alphabetically (or using any other sort method) files and directories are mixed, so the file/dir name has the highest sorting priority.
But it is very inconvenient.
It is common in other applications, that directories is shown first (in directory name order), and then files (in file name order).

As I can see, currently there are no mode / setting in Komodo to turn on directories-first option.

Please, can you make such option?
Mixing files and directories is VERY inconvenient.

Clicking on the project "Name" tree header will change the sort pattern (which toggles between the 3-4 different sort methods).

Is that what you need?

Yes, thanx, it helped. But

Yes, thanx, it helped.

But this "feature" is completely undocumented, as I can see ;)

You are correct, I've logged the following bug to enhance the UI to show the sorting features:

This has been driving me crazy! I clicked on everything in site, but missed the "name". Soooo much better now.

Thanks,
