Improve sorting of files in quick open

[d-akara]

• VSCode Version: 1.12.2

Files of equal matching rank are sorted with path only in the recently opened section like follows:

However, in the section of unopened files, they are unsorted. When you have potentially hundreds to thousands of files of the same name in a large project, you can't find the specific file you need.

@dakaraphi so you would expect the paths of those files to be sorted alphabetically?

[d-akara]

Yes, sorting the paths alphabetically for items of equal matching would be helpful.
I assume sorting would be the easiest to implement, but I also have another suggestion related to finding files in large projects that would be very helpful also.
