The thing that really annoys me with Linux file explorers is that none of them have a "sort by extension". They have sort by type, but it'll mix .jpg, .png, .gif and .webp together, for instance.
I just checked and Dolphin very much has that feature, the wording in English might not be exactly the same as I have the UI in my native language but I found it in the hamburger menu under Sort by>Other>File extension.
The Sort by β Type also doesn't group together image formats, at least...
obligatory linux user: whats an extension? Surely you mean File Type.
Lol goddamn, I haven't even been using Linux that long, and I read the comment and was like "extension? Like a Firefox extension? Huh?"
Well, apparently that is a thing in Dolphin, but if what you actually want is e.g. to just move all .png files, then I prefer to use the Filter bar (Ctrl+i or the fourth entry in the hamburger menu). You can just type ".png" into it and then it hides all entries which don't contain that substring.
I dunno, on GNOME49 it seems to me like Nautilus is doing it by file extension. Like yeah, it's still type, but it's sorting the extensions alphabetically. There's also an extra column for "Detailed Type."
On windows?
Had that problem on linux, haven't tried dolphin on windows, but I wouldn't expect it to be different in that regard
