This PR fixes issue #99955

When comparing file and folder names, after grouping by type if applicable,
compare the full name all at once instead of separately
comparing the name and the extension.

This change makes filename comparisons work the same as they
do in the Mac File Explorer and the same as a standard locale-based
sort with the numeric option (a form of natural sort) enabled.

Windows File Explorer has a different sort order due to treating the
dot character differently. Many terminal programs and sites like
github also differ, using a unicode-sort instead of a locale-based sort.
