Well its no longer spatial, since the filter makes files "disappear",
but its a nice feature none the less.

A better idea might be to change the concept to "bring certain files to
the top" or "stack up similar files" instead of the computer sciency
filter concept. I think that might give you a better chance of getting
the patch accepted.

You could also try putting it in the power-user-ish browser mode only.

You should open a bug in bugzilla for proper review.
