I like this idea. I've downloaded the beatmap packs after already having about 7k beatmaps, and since the "sort by date" option uses the Windows "date modified", the order seems nonsensical. Especially when some of the older .osz files contain beatmaps that need to be updated (sometimes only one or 2 difficulties), which causes them to put them out of order and sometimes separate from the other diffs of the same song.

I find this useful but unnecessary...
Useful: I'm a whore score ranker and I just wanna download Ranked (NOT APPROVED) songs. Not about me, but 'bout other users, you know-
Unnecessary: With "Ranked/Approved", the menu shows up all the songs to download, if those options were separated some users don't download approval maps or they just forget it.
Approved songs count towards your ranked score, which is the reason why they are consolidated into one list.
And this is just a different type of "sort by date" option, not a way to separate ranked from approved.
