SUMMARY
I am trying to sort a folder in dolphin by file size, with "folders first" deselected, similar to how filelight would sort the files and folders.  However, no matter what settings I use (including checking the button for "folder size displays" "size of contents") the folders remain first even when their filesize is smaller than that of individual files.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. sort folder by file size, descending
2. uncheck "folders first"

OBSERVED RESULT
small folders remain before large files

EXPECTED RESULT
folders sorted by combined file size among large files

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux [extra]/plasma-desktop 5.20.1-1
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0
Qt Version: 5.15.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
folder used only contains folders which do not contain other folders
