Files View Filtering

Use case or problem

The ability to sort, rearrange, and filter the Files View. When working with a combination of markdown and other formats of files in a vault, it can be really beneficial to be able to organize them appropriately and find and filter the view without needing to execute a search.

A community plugin served this feature-set well up to this point but with a lot of the enhancements to search and similar views this feels like it would be better implemented as part of the standard Obsidian features.

Proposed solution

A Filter Box for use with files similar to the functionality provided by Bartender.

Current workaround

You can use the Bartender plugin (Releases · nothingislost/obsidian-bartender · GitHub) with BRAT (GitHub - TfTHacker/obsidian42-brat: BRAT - Beta Reviewer's Auto-update Tool for Obsidian. · GitHub) because it’s not in the community plugin collection, but some of the functionality is broken from recent updates and needs fixes.
