Display folders mingled with files?

[nn1k3]

I see that folders are always displayed before files.
Is there an option to display items sorted by name without regard to whether they are files or folders?

If not, that is OK. I rarely want to see files mingled with folders. This is not important.

Optional reading below -------
Here is an example of when that would be helpful. Suppose I save this very web page with this option:
"Webpage, complete (’.htm;'.html)".
Then I get a new file and a new folder with these names:
(8) Total Commander - Post a new topic_files\
(8) Total Commander - Post a new topic.html

Now suppose I want to delete both of them. That is easier when I see the pair together. (I am aware of workarounds such as ctrl+s)

TC doesn't support this.
You can use Everything, which optionaly delivers dirs and files merged.
Unfortunately getting that list into TC (Ahk script) you have separated dirs and files.

Mmh, the transfer to TC works 1:1 for me.

Thanks to all.
Dear Gral: I did search for previous posts, but in vain. What search gave you those 11 hits?

You can set sort_mix=1 in Everything and you get files and folders merged in Everything itself.
Of course you get the full list from Everything into TC
but the TC display of the list returned from Everything is never a merge of dirs and files.
TCs Loadlist command still separates dirs and files.
If you have found a way to change this, please tell us how ?

Mmh,
For test purposes, I have displayed a subdirectory with 5 folders and 38 files with this option in Everything:
View > Sort by > Mix Files and Folders => Everything.ini: sort_mix=1

Afterwards I imported the search result to TC (AHK script) and then, to be on the safe side, I compared the view in Everything
with the view in TC -> the tab "Search result" by eye contact (only because you meant that it is not possible):

After the view in Everything as well as in TC was generally sorted by name for me,
the files and folders were *MIXED* in the same order in both programmes.

Remark:
In TC, for example, a folder is displayed with square brackets in the search result.

For me, this is both the expected search result and the expected order.

The result is also documented in the file "EV-Results.txt".
Execute cm_ToggleAutoViewModeSwitch before...
[Theoretically, one could also sort this file in ascending order from A-Z].

This works only if you do a manual Loadlist of the Everythings results.
In our default AHK script the Loadlist is part of an Auto-View rule.
Even if the Sort order for its View mode says unsorted the display has dirs on top.

OK, a few paths lead to the goal (Everything -OR- Everything + AHK-Skript with button).

Just so that there is no misunderstanding here:
I also use the AHK script from here.

Yes, I understand
The full implementation of the description uses an Auto switch mode for users conveniences.
I now have made an bug report for the different behaviour of the LOADLIST when invoked from Auto view.

With the TC 10.52 RC1 the problems are solved.
It handles mixed files and dirs from Everything now fine.
I'll update the script and its description.
