I don't like it and the reason is that when I'm searching for something
I expect the listing to be alphabetically sorted, period.
Not type-then-alphabetical, which is greatly distracting and only makes
me lose 3-10 seconds looking for the item I'm looking at.

Bunching up the directories at the top and then listing the files at
the bottom is one of those great annoyances.

But, if you do implement that, please make it configurable, because
I'll resort to the current listing order.
