Explorer should sort foo.go before foo_test.go, not after

Reproducible steps (1... 2... 3...) that cause the issue

When VS Code is opened on a directory, the Explorer pane shows a tree of files rooted in that directory. But the sort order of files that share a prefix is incorrect.

Given a directory with foo.go and foo_test.go, I expect to see

pkg
├── foo
│   ├── foo.go
│   └── foo_test.go

Instead, I see

pkg
├── foo
│   ├── foo_test.go
│   └── foo.go

which is backwards.

I've added the missing information.

Is this a duplicate of #27759?

[peterbourgon]

They are similar, but this issue takes a stricter stance: sort order in this case is well-defined and should not vary by platform.

Dup of that one and more explorer sorting issues #27286
