SortMyFiles VSCode Extension

Re-order files and folders in VS Code explorer. Create a file named .order in the root of your workspace. List the file names in the order you wish. One line for a file. You can also use regex if you put (regex) at the start of the line.

Example .order file:

VeryImportantFolder
MyFolder/MyCode.js
MyFolder/MyLibrary.js
ImportantFile.js
LessImportantFile.js
(regex)*.json

How it works

Changes file sorting to last modified date. Everytime a save detected extension activates. Changes the last modified date of the files specified in the .order file. Sorts rest of the files alphabetically. Only works if you open a worspace (folder)
