Description

By default, the file picker forces the UI to use large icons and sorts by name. Our users like using lists and want to sort by creation date. Could we add an input option to specify these filters prior to opening?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the file picker source code in the R package and the JavaScript Shiny input binding. Identify where the default options are set and how to allow user customization via arguments. Then implement the filtering options.
