I have a strange problem, I have had it since i installed Debian 12 Bookworm, earlier I was using Debian 8 Jessie and there was not this problem. Every time I open up Nautilus there is no default sorting, at least not show with arrow up or arrow down in the description bar. If i click '*name*' so it sorts by '*name*' ASC, it works in the current folder I'm in, and it can work in next folder also, but some folder can be sorted DESC by '*name*' when I open.
I was trying to browse before writing this post to try to find examples on this.
When I open up Nautilus, the current directory will be '*/home/username*' with no sorting at least what I can figure, when I then press '*name*' it sorts the folders and files ASC and it shows folders first, like I want it.
But when I then click on '*Downloads'* (*/home/username/Downloads*) it the sort by '*last_modified*'.
And if I go into '*Documents*' it's sorting it by '*name*' but DESC. I start to go crazy by this, I want every folder to be sorted by '*name*' ASC.
gsettings get org.gnome.nautilus.preferences default-sort-order
'name'
And:
dconf /org/gnome/nautilus/preferences/default-sort-order
'name'
I have browser through the whole dconf, and I cannot seem to find any values that is relevant to the this problem.
And one more problem I have is that it always show hidden files, even if the *'/org/gnome/nautilus/preferences/show-hidden-files'* is turned off.
