[X4U] FIFO Keep arranged by option

[Andrew T. Lynch]

Thanks for the idea, Mike.

Still not quite there...  If drop a plain text file onto the desktop, 
and there is a pdf text file already on the desktop, the plain text 
file will be placed before the pdf, since it's "kind" sorts earlier.  I 
want it to place after the pdf, since it was placed on the desktop 
after the pdf file.
