However, another view is that more popular types should stay on top

So then, 3 different orders...Sort by File Extension, File Type Name, or Popular?

When doing so, I think it would be best to alphabetize by file extension rather than name of file, but still provide the description of the file type before the file extsion. For example:
SDTS Raster (*.ddf *.DDF)
MrSID JPEG2000 (*.jp2 *.j2k *.JP2 *.J2K)
GeoTIFF (*,tif, *.TIF)
And so forth.
