Xcode 16 now defaults new projects to a Folder structure instead of the old Project Builder file based Group structure.

This means you can no longer sort by Name or Type in the Project Navigator. However we can easily convert projects back to groups and vice versa.

I see two key advantages to the new folder structure. The project and file structure will match when viewing the project in apps other than Xcode such as the Terminal or Github, and since the file are no longer tracked in the Project Builder file there is decreased opportunity for merge conflicts when working with other developers.
