Sorting and Searching Symbolic Links?

When sorting folders by date, symbolic links are not included with normal folder sorting and don't really seem to be sorted properly at all by themselves either.
When searching a folder with symbolic links inside, the files inside the symbolic links are not included in the search.
Are there a settings that needs to be changed to fix these?

Don't see the issue with sorting.
To search within links, enable Tools > Configuration > Find Files & Branch View > Find Files > Follow junctions

I think its actually an issue with windows - its the same behavior with explorer. Date modified on symbolic links don't change the same way normal folders do. When a new file is changed or placed inside a folder, the date modified updates. On a symbolic link, date modified seems to stay at the created date no matter what.
add: same with searches in explorer - searching for files or wildcards do not recurse into symbolic links.
