Sorting by file properties #266

Thank you for your great work!

I often find it useful to be able to sort files by their properties, e.g., file size, extension, or modification time. It would be great to have this option in Superfile too.

It's not immediately obvious to me how it could be incorporated in the current design tough. One possibility could be using the Metadata panel for this, i.e., a user would navigate to the panel, select a particular property and hit a hotkey to sort all files in that folder by that property.

Another option would be to have an additional panel on a side where metadata for all files would be listed in multiple columns. A user would navigate to that panel and choose a column to sort by.
