Currently only files within folders are sorted because directories
always get placed at top, subsorted by name a..z first. You would have
to play around with the compare function to get the directories
subsorted with the chosen sort method too. The compare function is

int gdir_compare(const void *a, const void *b);

at libs/gdir.c
