Title:
  Nautilus: Arranging Items by 'Type', arranges them recursively by
  'alphabetical' order of their extensions, not by grouping them first

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  New
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Nautilus arranges items by 'Type' by sorting them according to alphabetical order of their extensions.
  In fact, this is not arranging by type at all, because one type can have multiple extensions, for example, Image files can have extensions like, '.png', '.gif' and '.jpg', if these files existed in one directory with some type of files like '.mp3', then they would be arranged by Type as the following: '.gif', '.jpg', '.mp3' then 'png', thus image files will be split by '.mp3' multimedia files.

  Suggested fix:
  Nautilus should arrange files by type according to extension groups first, then by alphabetical order.
