The thing that really annoys me with Linux file explorers is that none of them have a “sort by extension”. They have sort by type, but it’ll mix .jpg, .png, .gif and .webp together, for instance.
Well, apparently that is a thing in Dolphin, but if what you actually want is e.g. to just move all .png files, then I prefer to use the Filter bar (Ctrl+i or the fourth entry in the hamburger menu). You can just type “.png” into it and then it hides all entries which don’t contain that substring.
I just checked and Dolphin very much has that feature, the wording in English might not be exactly the same as I have the UI in my native language but I found it in the hamburger menu under Sort by>Other>File extension.

On windows?

obligatory linux user: whats an extension? Surely you mean File Type.

The Sort by → Type also doesn’t group together image formats, at least…
