[Run] Search for folders should display shallow folders first #2572

Description

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Whenever a folder is searched in the launcher, the results are displayed in a seemingly random order.
For example, searching Appdata shows me a list like:
C:\Users\alias\some_path\AppData
.
.
C:\Users\alias\Appdata

I would like the search to return shallow matching results first, since these are likely the ones that I am looking for.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

In the above example, I would like the search to show C:\Users\alias\Appdata above the other options.
