I think that the correct behavior would be to not rearrange the files after their filetype is corrected. In the example video I attached, the task I was trying to accomplish was to select a large continuous number of files in that directory but I was unable to since each time I picked the anchor file for a shift-click selection, it would be resorted to the top of the directory. So for both performance and usability concerns, I think the browser should simply sort by extension and leave it at that.
