Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager/issues/996

There are several sorting issues that need to be addressed to improve the user experience:

Sorting by Name: To maintain consistency, the "go back" icon (represented as "...") should always remain at the top of the list. However, it has been observed that the icon shifts to the bottom or even the middle when the sorting order is changed. This behavior should be corrected to ensure the icon stays at the top.

Sorting by Size: The current sorting mechanism does not correctly account for the units of file size (KB, B, MB, etc.). As a result, the sort order is incorrect, leading to confusion. The sorting algorithm should be refined to accurately sort files by their size, taking into consideration the respective units.

Sorting by Date Format: The current sorting feature does not properly handle date formats, such as "22.02.2023 11:01:05." Consequently, the sorting by date functionality is not working as expected. To resolve this issue, the date parsing and sorting logic should be improved to handle various date formats and ensure accurate sorting.
