Arrange by Name in Finder has stopped working in Columns view

In the last few weeks, my Finder view no longer works to Arrange by Name in Columns view. If I switch to List view, it works normally, but I prefer to work in Columns view and have for many years. I'm unaware of changing any settings that could cause this.

When in Column View, click on View in the menubar and select Show View Options.


What are your Group By and Sort By options set to. Have a play around and see if

you get a combination that works for you. Or does changing these options not

rearrange the column order.
