IIRC there was no other reasoning for it besides it naturally
following from a hierarchical standpoint that if the user wanted
folders before files, then they probably also wanted volumes before
folders. In the case of the copy to/move to menus I'm not sure if that
behavior is even relied upon, since they're explicitly added to the
menu rather than being part of the normal directory iteration. I don't
really see a problem with removing that part of the sorting logic and
dealing with it in the menu if need be.
