ALWAYS show Folders first

On the mobile iOS app, I don't understand why this feature only works when sorting by NAME. I mostly use sort by DATE MODIFIED which puts ALL folders on the very bottom, not very convenient. Folders should always show up first then files, this is default for Windows and should be reflective here. Even dropbox on Windows allows you to sort by date and still have folders show up first. This feels more like a bug than a feature that doesn't exist.

    On the app you have to go to 'files' then scroll down to the bottom to access the folders. This is illogical as files are not folders, they are inside them...so this makes it difficult to find your folders if you don't know this is how it is set up on the app. It isnt very user friendly.
