I realize I was not very precise. I'm attaching a screenshot of my LyX dialog; not sure it will work so let me describe as well. The last 2 icons (before "Documents" and "Examples" are "list view" and "detailed view" (I do my best to translate from French). I suggest that you select the latter. Then you end up with an explorer-like windows, where the columns have titles "name", "size", "type" and so on. These are clickable. A small arrow (up or down) next to one column shows how the files and folders are sorted. Try clicking on the "name" or "type", once or twice. If I do that, I get precisely what you describe, but then a 2nd click restores the "directory first" sort order.
