Stop treating .zip-files different

Anyone knows how to stop Windows (explorer.exe) from treating .zip-files
different from normal files? I can see the idea of treating .zip-files
like folders if you use Windows' built-in zip-handling but I've already
got a compression-application that I'm very happy with and use for all
compressed files on the computer.

In a folder where I have a lot of files I like to sort them based on
last modification so that I always have quick access to the most recent
versions everything except .zip-files behaves as expected. .zip-file
however are grouped together at the top of the folder, below normal
folders but above other files.
