Add config to sort file picker order

[GeekPro101]

At the moment, the order of files in the file picker appears to be fairly random - directories are kept together but not much else. This makes it difficult to find files in larger directories.
It would be useful if they were:

• Sorted at all, perhaps by alphabetical order
• Had a configurable sort order, perhaps under editor.file_picker, for alphabet, file size, last modified, reverse, etc.

And it's not even directories kept together 😢 - if I start a search:

File picker is already sorted there was a pr for that a long time ago and we forgot to close this.

As soon as you start typing is sorted by score ofcourse and the sorting is only used as a tiebreaker

[tennox]

But in my example the tiebreaker doesn't seem to work... (I don't see the score being different)

[pascalkuthe]

Shorter matches are preffered.

It's score -> len -> alpabetix sorting (tie breaker).

Works exactly the same as fzf

IMO the file picker should sort files by -modtime. That would make the default view useful.

It seems that #336 implements date sorting (presumably reverse?), but currently the file picker seems to be sorted by name. 😕

Found this discussion while trying to figure out what the sort order even was, because I couldn't make any sense of it. Forcing the file picker to only sort by this odd combination of timestamps guarantees a really unhelpful sort order in some of the repos I work on, since files get created and modified constantly by people who aren't me. Combined with long paths, I sometimes have to read each and every line to find what I'm looking for.

Being able to sort by name would save me considerable time.

Is it possible within same pathname length to sort search results by filename?

It is much easier if results are groupd by files:
