So in Finder if I'm trying to sort file types by kind to help me find a certain file. So I'm clicking on the Kind tab to sort by kind. My problem is that while it distingusihes different kinds of files like excel or word, jpegs, audio, video etc etc - it doesn't distinguish between text files with different extensions. so for example - it doesn't consider .R .txt .csv to be different "kinds", because they are all text files.

How do I make it recognise that .R is different to .txt etc? The odd thing is .R is associated with Rstudio by default but it doesn't seem to care about that.
