order_by title does not work with folder

[ChrisBlankDe]

the new order_by feature works great with multible files in one directory. Thank you!

But the new feature does not work with directories:

directory tree:

│   mkdocs.yml
└───docs
    │   .pages
    │   index.md
    ├───1
    │       .pages (Title: A (1))
    │       index.md
    ├───2
    │       .pages (Title: C (2))
    │       index.md
    ├───3
    │       .pages (Title: B (3))
    │       index.md
    └───4
            .pages (Title: D (4))
            index.md

.pages at root level:

nav: 
  - Home: index.md
  - ... | flat
order_by: title

My expection was that the groups where sorted by name (from the .pages in sub dir: A, B, C, D) but they are sorted by the name of the directory (1, 2, 3, 4):

My minimized demo solution:
mkdocs-awesome-order-by-folder.zip

Is this behavior intentional or is it a bug?

This is a bug, edge case which I completely overlooked, since I'm not using the .pages file to change the title.
Should probably be an easy fix, because now it's sort of ignoring the custom title from the .pages file.

Thanks for the reproduction @ChrisBlankDe ✌️
