Bug: Sort does not work in Column View

[yichenchong]

Description

No matter the sort order selected, Column View sorts the files in the exact same way, with all the folders at the top in alphabetic order, followed by all files in alphabetic order. Clicking "Sort by..." and then any other order does nothing.

In the following example, I created the folders in reverse alphabetic order, but this is the order that shows up no matter the "Sort By" order.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Go to any directory
2. Click on Layout > Columns
3. Click on Sort by > Date modified
4. No reordering is observed

Requirements

• Fix "Sort by..." in Column View always shows up in alphabetic order

Have you tried enabling "List and sort directories alongside files" as that allowed folder and files to be mixed.
Sorry misread the issue

@yichenchong thank you for reporting this issue, it's been partially fixed in v2.4.66 but we're keeping this open as it's still an issue in certain scenarios.

@yichenchong Is this still an issue in the preview version? https://files.community/download/preview
