Description
When a file is copied into a pane that's sorted by size descending, the file appears at the bottom and then after a short delay jumps to its right location.
In other sorting configurations, the files appear at their right place from the start, it seems.
Reproduce: create a directory with one empty file. Sort by size descending. Copy a non-empty file into the directory from the other pane. On my machine the sorting delay is 10-500ms.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a directory containing one empty file, size-descending sort, and a copied non-empty file from the other pane. Trace the copy completion and size-sorting refresh behavior; done means the file appears in its correct position immediately, without the visible jump.
