What is the current behavior?

Let's say we have a custom page template located in views/template-custom.blade.php. Sage's template hierarchy filter expands it into following template paths:

resources/views/views/template-custom.blade.php
resources/views/views/template-custom.blade.blade.php
views/template-custom.blade.php
views/template-custom.blade.blade.php
views/views/template-custom.blade.php
views/views/template-custom.blade.blade.php

Obviously it works (the list includes views/template-custom.blade.php) but it differs from all other possible template file lists. It may be confusing: for example by the way soberwp/controller parses template paths one cannot create Controller based on custom page template file name.

What is the expected or desired behavior?

I'm not quite sure but probably resulting template list should look like that:

resources/views/template-custom.php
resources/views/template-custom.blade.php
template-custom.php
template-custom.blade.php
views/template-custom.php
views/template-custom.blade.php

Otherwise current behavior should be documented so external plugins like soberwp/controller can act accordingly.
