[Feature]: "Reload" button for the gallery about automatic HOT 3 OPEN

valid request just not sure how to implement - issue is that to achieve max performance, gallery loads items async as they are received from server - and during that time, gallery is fully functional - it doesn't need all items to be loaded to show whatever is present. but applying sort only makes sense when they are all loaded.

i could wait until everything is loaded and then sort, but then you'd need to wait for everything - and if you have 10k images in folder, that may not be desired.

if you have a suggestion, let me know.

i just tried presorting directory list on the server and impact is massive - biggest use case is something like newest-first, but to do that i need to run stat on each file to get its mtime - so overhead of list on a slow mount point is massive - for 5k images, initial response went up from 0.3sec to 5.7sec.

Ok, then it's likely not worth it.
