It would be nice to sort local files by type. That way you could group the
directories together. Right now they are mixed in with the filenames.

Check out the patch and add this one line to the dtd file to get a Type column
in there.
<!ENTITY directoryWindow.contenttype.label "Type">
I can't believe I did something and it actually worked! Currently it only
displays File/Directory and I'm not sure if it messes up the last modified
column as Windows doesn't display that info.

Chris Waterson - I think you wrote this originally, and there's a fix attached
to this bug, so you might want to take a look. It's a good feature...

I'm gonna reassign this to you don, and clear the M12 milestone. The patch adds
a new column to the file viewer, and I'm not exactly sure if that's the UI we
want.

See also bug 29247, [rfe] add a "type" column to directory listings.
Is this bug specific to local directory listings, or would it work on ftp
listings?

No need to add a new column to the GUI... The 'Type' column would be disabled by
default, and using the little button at the top right it can be checked on.
CC'ing me and adding my vote. I think it's important to have the possibility of
grouping files by extension.

Patch is probably out of date (from 1999).
It would be nice to sort by date, last modified, file size, name, etc. Couldn't
we do this with XUL?

-> tree this patch probably works for tree and not HTML view...
please send it back if I got it wrong...

I checked the directory listing and I don't think adding a new column is necessary anymore. When I click on the "Name" column header, the listing becomes sorted by name and directories get shown first.
