Sort Folder & Files in (gtk) file open dialogs?

Hello guys,

Is there a way to enable/configure to sort folder & files (e.g. all folders first, then files + alphanum sorting)
in the file open dialog (I suppose the xfce dialog are just the ones provided by gtk?)

I searched, but found nothing real usable. Some folks in the internet point to manually edit config files.... but as they point to different ones and these have been old posts, I ask here to get a "definitive" answer

Thank you.

When you have the "open file" dialog open you can right click on the pane and select the order you want. Save file dialog is the same I think.
