Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current alphabetic sort is best for most cases and do find specific files, but once the number of extracted files grows, it's not good enough. You have to scroll through hundreds of files to find the one that is actually interesting.

As an example, 99502507bfa92aee6d6b0220346410412be6cfd1ca1b28378b9e0958bd697342 from one of URLs mentioned in https://blog.nviso.eu/2025/11/13/contagious-interview-actors-now-utilize-json-storage-services-for-malware-delivery/ - with only around 1000 files extracted, but I have already started analysis to get more of them.

Describe the solution you'd like
A button in the submission view to change the file sorting from alphabetic to score-based, with most scored files on the top.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • General changing the sorting is not the best option - it would make looking for specific files much harder.
  • This may be a starting point for some more advanced filtering of extracted files in the listing (e.g. show only given type, above given score, etc.)

Additional context

  • Note that the safelist is not necessary the solution. While I don't use the native safelist extensively, I use an online filtering service that uses more sources than NSRL, and in the extracted 1000, only a few files were filtered (it was though better when I increased the max extracted).
  • The frontend paginates the file list - I'm not sure if it's front- or backend-based, but change in sorting has to eventually get files that are on hidden in the current view.
