Show SDKs as a flat list without collapsible sections

**Tell us how we can improve Xcodes** Older versions of Xcodes used to show SDKs as a flat list, without collapsible sections. It would be great to bring that display mode as an option. **Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** • As a developer, the SDKs I need are typically the latest ones, at the top of the list. • The current hierarchical list is visually confusing. • Install buttons next to every major version add to the confusion. Does clicking them install the latest RC in the group, or the latest beta? • Confusion gets worse when there are two active beta channels simultaneously, like 27.1 and 27.2 currently. • Expanding/collapsing groups manually is tedious. • The granularity of sections for every major and minor versions might be overkill. • A lot of space is wasted because of the collapsible sections and their horizontal indentation. **What would you like to see? How would you like it to work?** • A new "Group by version" item (maybe in the filter list?), selected by default, which would revert to the previous display mode when unselected. • Tiny section headers to visually delimitate minor versions: "Xcode 27.0", "Xcode 27.1"... Xcodes is a godsend app. Thank you so much to all contributors for their hard work!

if you turn off grouping in settings - does that help you? <img width="400" height="228" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a890d78d-52ad-4769-bde0-f7ffdc0be558" />
