Folders with over 1000 items will not apply "Folders on Top"

[Mint137]

Folders containing over 1000 items will not sort with Folders on Top even though the option is enabled. Removing the number of items down to 999 temporarily resolves the issue.

A workaround:

TotalFinder: Folders on top bug:

@darwin

Ah, for performance reasons I disable sorting when there is 1000+ files in the folder

You can change the limit by changing TotalFinderFoldersOnTopSortingLimit in

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

Execute this line in Terminal.app and then restart Finder+TotalFinder:

defaults write com.apple.finder TotalFinderFoldersOnTopSortingLimit 1000000

I should indicate this visually somehow as an overlay on top of the view or something. Adding to my TODO list.
