I want my files in my media folder to sorted in this order:
Pictures
Videos
Text files
This is generally how it's sorted, however, depending on video file extension, videos can be anywhere in the file list - top, bottom or middle. This is probably more of a Windows question but maybe FC has some kind of workaround.
Is there a way to define by extension how files are sorted?

Sort by type (Ctrl+F4)?

Nope. Video files are still disjointed in the file list. It's really odd. I created a bunch of zero byte files of different video extensions to show what it looks like.

Researching more, it seems to be an unresolved Windows issue.

Re: Is there a way to define by extension how files are sort
If you use names only like on screenshot (video#, p#, m#, t# and so on) in that case use sort by name (Ctrl+F3).
If names could be different (for example, video_01.avi, movie_02.flv, film_03.wmv, ...), I think there is no way to soft files like you want (by filetypes with different extensions despite names).

There is an option "Items color", it's possible to define a unique color for several extension, this might be a workaround to distinguish the file types, but perhaps with a new feature it could be used to "sort by items color".
Example for items color:
*.avi;*.wmv;*.mp4;*.mpg;*.m2v;*.vob;*.ts;*.flv;*.3gp;*.mov;*.mkv
*.bmp;*.gif;*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png;*.tga;*.tif;*.tiff
*.mp3;*.mp2;*.mpa;*.wav;*.wma;*.ogg;*.flac
Perhaps the name could be add for the items color option, too, e.g. videos, pictures, songs...
Anyway, I'm not sure if this is possible to implement.
