Description
Currently when view files in tree mode, it always put folders above files. Would be nice to provide options to sort files above folders, so that you can view files directly under a folder, then files in subfolders. Vscode already supports "explorer.sortOrder": "filesFirst", and this would be similar.
For example in this PR, enable it to show package.json and package.nls.json above api, common and github

Research direction
Start by tracing the extension's file-tree sorting entry point; the issue does not name a file or test. Compare the requested behavior with VS Code's explorer.sortOrder filesFirst example, then verify that files appear before folders while existing sorting remains intact.
