Show directories before files

This is the kind of UX people get on Github and vscode

I'm -1 on this one, we modeled with mac file browser as the UX base and it does pure alphabetical.

Thanks for the review.

Then maybe we could make it a configuration option? So that we can set up a flag on our side to get the wanted behavior.

@martinRenou works for me, i suspect we can do this, replacing the original file browser, any other features that i -1 via config. Our use case is like for jupyter-fs where we run multiple filetrees for different contents manager backends, whereas your primary use case looks to be replacing the existing manager. The only one that will be tricky is getting a new launcher to respect base path, not sure if that will be possible.
