Feature: UI Spacing for Type sorting

[Colin-VideoRevealed]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Improve the visual hierarchy of directories when sorting by Type.
Items should appear visually grouped under their respective Type headers to better indicate categorization. Currently, the spacing makes it look like the header is associated with the preceding items, which creates confusion.

Requirements

Clarify hierarchical structure through adjusted spacing.
Reduce the space below each header to half the distance of the space above the next header. For example, in my screenshot, items are placed 15px below their category header and there's a 30px gap before the next header. This creates a clearer visual grouping. This also allows for tighter overall spacing and improved item visibility.

Thank you for the report, it looks like we were incorrectly aligning the group content to the top instead of centering it. I'm working on a fix.

If anything the header content should be more aligned to the bottom, with greater spacing above the header text, than below. Centreing would leave some ambiguity.

I pushed a commit to change the alignment to bottom.
