Browser - filelist - sort order
folder shortcut (.lnk file) always sorts withing folder group, which is not standard behavior
Suggestion

• make folder shortcuts sorted as file by default

• add setting to alter folder shortcut sorting order
  eg 'Sort folder shortcuts as folders' (disabled by default) in Settings>Filelist>Sorting
