filename_test.go appears before filename.go in the explorer

[kylrth]

Issue Type: Bug

For items in lexicographic order, an item that prefixes another item should be ranked before that longer item.

In VS Code, alpha_test.go gets displayed before alpha.go:

Since we ignore the .go extension when sorting these file names, I think this ordering should be reversed.

Also closely related to issue #99955 and PR #104528. These are both closed but they do explain why the code now behaves this way. The code no longer strips off the .go extension before comparing the names.
