Folders on top in RStudio Files Window?

Is it possible to set up the File window in the RStudio IDE to act like the default Windows, Linux or (I think) Mac file folder program.
I would like to setup the folders to be shown before/on top the files.
Thanks,

Hi @matt.curcio.ri!

It's not the most obvious thing in the world :sweat_smile: , but you can sort the Files pane by "type" by clicking the empty column heading above the little file type icons:
45

This puts all the folders either at the top or at the bottom of the list. Does that match how your native file navigator sorts? I know that close-but-not-quite can be even more confusing when you're jumping back and forth between different views of the same filesystem!

If there are refinements you'd like to submit as a feature request, here's your starting point :grin::
RStudio IDE Guide: Writing Good Feature Requests. There was some discussion of this a while back on the old support site, but I couldn't find a related issue on Github.
