Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Open iPad NC app
  2. switch to icons view
Expected behaviour

I expect the files and folders to be not grouped unless I say so

Actual behaviour

items are always grouped by type, with no apparent way to disable grouping. This is NOT an issue on the iPhone.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on iPadOS 17.1 in the Nextcloud app's icons view, then compare the grouping behavior with iPhone. Trace the iPad file-list grouping or sorting entry point. Done means files and folders are not grouped by type unless the user enables grouping.
