A brief experiment resulted in a very onerous, ungainly,

Search for *.* and then sort the result by Type. Look for files of
Type=File.
I created three file in a folder, new_doc.txt, new_doc1, and new_doc2
(latter two with no extension).
After sorting, both files without an extension were clustered together.

The method might not be graceful, but the english was, and the method
is effective.
I did a slightly different test on that method.
That method does seem to work across folders and regardless of the
filename . I had sub folders a b and c and files 'r' 'a' and 'd' and
z.txt and b.txt .
As you said, search , sort by type.
It listed the subdirectories (a,b,c) together, *then all the files
(r,a,d) with no extension - those files were in different
directories*(so it worked perfectly), then it listed the rest of the
files.
..\a\
..\b\
..\c\
..\a\r
..\b\a
..\c\d
..\b\z.txt
..\a\b.txt
.
