Currently, VS Code does not offer the ability to sort files based on their file name length within the File Explorer. This feature would enhance user efficiency and flexibility when managing files that require organization or identification by name length.

Proposed Feature:

-> Introduce a new sorting option in the File Explorer context menu or settings.(filename length)
-> Enable users to sort files in ascending or descending order according to their file name length.(filename length asc /desc)

ScreenShot
By implementing this feature, VS Code would provide a valuable tool for users who rely on file name length for various tasks and organizational purposes.

@lramos15 is this a good first issue considering there is the explorer.sortOrder setting?
@BeltonMenete how should folders be sorted relative to the files?

Closing as duplicate of #27286

We need to find an extensible way to sort the explorer as there are just too many feature requests for various ways people wish to do this.
