Files in Subfolders not sorted

[ccpandhare]

Is this intentional that the files in subfolders aren't sorted or is it an unresolved issue?
Maybe we could give the user an option to either sort files in subfolders (deleting the subfolder) or just the chosen folder

Right now it is intentional.
The problem with sorting subfolders is that the program might sort folders which are specifically required in that format. Let's say that you have:

• A folder with files from a meeting. It could have a recording, a txt file with notes, and a few pdfs with agenda and so on.

• A folder that you extracted from a zip containing important files for a software (this is the case with most download folders).

If we provide an option to sort all subfolders, and the user accidentally selects it, that would end up creating more mess than there was initially.
Of course, we could think of other ways to avoid that from happening, but I don't think we should keep an explicit option to sort all subfolders (even if we do, we will have to give loud and clear warnings before the sorting is performed).

Let me know if you have any ideas in mind.
