Description
This was reported in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/95239 before and got closed. But i do feel this is especially important for the rust community. Basically i'm hoping vscode can list the files in this order:
- lib.rs
- z_but_first_module.rs
- z_but_first_module/ (directory)
- s_but_second_module.rs
- s_but_second_module/ (directory)
- a_but_third_module.rs
instead of the alphabetic order. I hope Rust community can weigh in towards this direction, and improve it eventually.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the earlier report at microsoft/vscode#95239 and determine whether rust-analyzer exposes an entry point for project file ordering. Done means establishing whether the requested Rust module ordering can be supported and documenting the resulting behavior or scope.
