Hi there, I've seen this requested a lot while trying to find out if any file managers support this. I'm coming from Windows, and I'm loving Linux so far. The Dolphin file manager became my favorite file manager very quickly. But I desperately miss how Windows File Manager could group all items in a folder by one feature and sort by another. 

I'm an artist and when I was at my most busy selling art, my folders were grouped by file type and sorted by date modified. It helped me jump from the PSD files that I was working on, to the png WIPs I had saved for customers, and I was able to see the newest ones first. It made my life just so much easier because the titles of the work were always the name of the customer. 

I know you guys have a lot going on but it's definitely on my wishlist. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
