I did this a while back.  Here are the macros, if you're interested.  
Set the Swing Look & Feel in the Appearance panel of global options to 
get a file chooser that looks like the Windows file chooser.  I found 
that it is enough NOT like the native chooser to be annoying 
(particularly in the behavior of entering partial filenames on the 
filename input box and pressing enter) and stopped using it quickly.  It 
also doesn't do the sorting you want, but there you go.  ;-)

Open_file.bsh:
==============

// store path in this property variable
String PROP = "macro.jdw.open_file.path";

// get last path used
String path = jEdit.getProperty(PROP);

JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser(path);
int returnVal = jfc.showOpenDialog(view);

if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
    File file = jfc.getSelectedFile();
    if(file.getPath() != null) {
        // store last path used
        jEdit.setProperty(PROP, file.getPath());
       
        jEdit.openFile(view, file.getPath());
    }
}


Save_file.bsh:
==============

// store path in this property variable
String PROP = "macro.jdw.open_file.path";

// get last path used
String path = jEdit.getProperty(PROP);

if (buffer.isNewFile()) {
    JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser(path);
    int returnVal = jfc.showSaveDialog(view);
   
    if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
        File file = jfc.getSelectedFile();
        if (file.getPath() != null) {
            // store last path used
            //jEdit.setProperty(PROP, file.getPath());
           
            buffer.save(view, file.getPath());
        }
    }
} else {
    buffer.save(view, buffer.getPath());
}
