File view option to rank by date WITHOUT separating folders and files

I'd love it if there was an option when browsing via file view to rank all files and folders in date order without folders being listed before files…

I don't use the library function of xbmc, so if i want to watch new stuff i've added to my shared folder i have to scroll up and down an epically long list to see what's new amongst the folders, and what's new amongst the files.. Bit of a first world problem i know, but it's a hassle, and i'd be delighted if it's an easy fix.
