I have a folder with pdf, doc and docx files, I would like to sort them using the default File manager, displaying pdfs and word docs separately. Unfortunately in the 'Type' column, they are all considered 'Document'. Is there any way I can change this to sort them separately?

Thanks in advance

you could try to add the "MIME Type" to the attributes. Just right click on one of the attributes ( Name, Type, Size, ...) and select "MIME Type".
