Hi Mac: either you are missing something, or I am. The solution you propose does
not solve the problem. As explained in the original article:
"there are circumstances where it is advantageous to sort by file extension, and
not file type. While sorting by file type and extension yield similar results, they
are not identical."
That's because various file extensions might all be described as "text file" for
example, so sorting by "file type" may not give you the order that you need. Think
of it as "sorting by extension" versus "sorting by file description." Get it?
