JPEG Files next to RAW not available for import.

My main camera has 2 SD cards - one for RAW, the other for JPEG. On occasion, I shoot RAW + JPEG to the RAW SD card. Recently - maybe since the last update - I do not see the JPEG as available for import from the RAW CARD. I also tested shooting a single JPEG to that card slot - it also does not appear for import. In both cases the JPEG  files are on the card. I do have the option to treat as separate files checked. Strangely I do see the JPEG files for import from the other (JPEG only) card. 

I have the same issue on my other camera - in that case I shoot RAW + JPEG to the single slot but only the RAW files show up for import. When I shoot a single JPEG it does not appear for import. 

These are cameras from different manufacturers - OM and Fijifilm. 

I am using Windows 11 - latest update + Lightroom Classic 14.1.1

Never mind... Somehow my Import screen was set to sort by file type 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. Thank you everyone for your suggestions.

Do you have another card to test with? Just shooting JPEG first.

I have tried with two cards in two separate cameras - different brands + models. It isn't the card. Somehow LrC doesn't seem to recognize JPEGS when in the presence of RAW files as it does recognize the JPEGS on a card with no RAW files.

Have you imported the JPEG files from the SD card for jpeg files into the same folder as the RAW files?

I can copy them to the folder where I imported my RAW files to. However, that's not my workflow. In fifteen years using Lightroom I have always imported directly from my SD card as I see no need to add extra steps. Somehow something that was possible a week or so ago is no longer possible.

Check and see if they are stacked with the RAW images and unstack them.
