Currently, it would l only work the other way around (if you select
something from Locate then it will show up first in other source of
type file), because sorting does not (yet) support asynchronous
sources, but that's exactly what I was thinking of.

I've come to the solution in the meantime: if the source has a type
then selection should be stored and used by type, otherwise by source
name.
