How to sort files order by "type" for all directories?

I'm asking about sorting my files ordered by "type" for all directories ?

I could sort it for one directory but I couldn't find any solutions for my req (if possible) .

You could change Nautilus preferences: Nautilus menu > Preferences > View (tab) and set Arrange items: By Type.

Or you can use dconf-editor. First install it:

sudo apt install dconf-editor

Then launch the application dconf-editor and go to org > gnome > nautilus > preferences and change the Default sort order.

Another way is to use gsettings to set this value:

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences default-sort-order 'type'
