Directories in Windows are always tagged as "File folder" in the explorer:

File folder

Is it possible to edit this field? To introduce a new kind of folder?

I would like to do that in order to enable another level of sorting of directories.

i.e. first "special" directories, then regular directories, then files

By right-clicking the folder and selecting "Properties" a dialog will appear. Go to the "Customize" tab and you will find a drop-down list titled "Customize this folder for:". If you change the selected item, the type of the folder will change accordingly.
