I just upgraded from fedora20 to fedora21 and now the gtk file picker sorts files and folders together. I much prefer the usual and previous behaviour of displaying folders first (and I enabled that behaviour in nautilus thanks to the option there).

Is it possible to achieve that sorting also in the gtk 3.14 file chooser? If yes, how?

Ok, I found it... I had to install and run the program dconf-editor. Then go to org->gtk->settings->file-chooser, then activate the option sort-directories-first.

I've been looking for this option for GNOME 3.14 on debian (nautilus) and couldn't find anything, and now I've stumbled upon it while digging through dconf. So, for nautilus it's gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences sort-directories-first true or go to dconf under org -> gnome -> nautilus -> preferences and check sort-directories-first if you prefer the GUI ;)
