File Open dialog on macOS does not show folders separately from files

On macOS with Office 365 version of Excel (and PowerPoint), the File | Open dialog does not group folders separately from files. In my Finder I was able to do it by setting the property "Keep folders on top". 

 

Is it possible to honor this setting in the file opening dialog?

    Romit Mehta When you open a file in Excel on a Mac (O365), you should see the icon with the horizontal lines and down-arrow. There you can set the default for grouping the items in any folder. The "Kind" option will put folders first.
