reverse sorting order #63

hi and thank you for this handy tool ! 👏

I was wondering if there is an option to reverse the display order of the files? In case there isn't: Is this where the sorting is taking place? https://github.com/crahan/ipyfilechooser/blob/e4f82f4946b0db718a10b515669be9d4f731e00f/ipyfilechooser/utils.py#L93-L96

I might want to play around with it a little so any hints on where to start would be welcome

Thank you for the kind words!

You are correct. The sorted(dirs) and sorted(files) statements in both parts of that if statement is where the list of directories and list of files in the current folder are sorted and appended together. You can tweak that to change the sort order. Currently, sorting is always alphabetically with folders before files.
