Sort all files in folder and subfolder according to file basenames

I've one root folder under which there are two folders, now I want to sort all files under root folder according to their names irrespective of sub-folder names.

Below is code which I tried, but problem here is that is sorting according to the name of subfolder under which the files are : 

.../verify/AU1/APPLaunch_ftrace_au1.txt,
.../verify/AU1/Mp3BT_ftrace_au1.txt, 
.../verify/AU2/APPLaunch_ftrace_au2.txt,
.../verify/AU2/Mp3BT_ftrace_au2.txt

files_list = []
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(trace_folder, topdown = False):
    files_list.extend(join(root,f) for f in files)
files_list.sort()

what I would like to have is :

.../verify/AU1/APPLaunch_ftrace_au1.txt,
.../verify/AU2/APPLaunch_ftrace_au2.txt,
.../verify/AU1/Mp3BT_ftrace_au1.txt, 
.../verify/AU2/Mp3BT_ftrace_au2.txt

just add a sort criteria to sort which only considers the basename of the file

files_list.sort(key=os.path.basename)

if you don't care about casing, that's also doable:

files_list.sort(key=lambda x : os.path.basename(x).lower())
