> 2)Introduce one important concept:fallback to comparing the name if the main sorting column is not enough to determine a sort order. This is especially important for sorting by type - sorting by size needs this as well, but different files are way less likely to have the same size compared to the possibility of them having similar types.
> 3)Intoduce full three-level fallback for ensuring file name uniqueness, taken from Dolphin code. Thanks a bunch goes to Peter Penz :)
> 4)And of course, sort folders by the child count if sorting by size. Again, Dolphin inspired.
